"We Must Stand firm but Not Stand Still"

              "Therefore, my beloved whom I long to see, my 

                joy and crown, so stand firm in the my beloved.

                                    Phillippians 4: 1

The common thread throughout  Paul's letter to the Philippians is a focus on the Lord. He is the source  of our confidence, joy, and strength to stand firm.

 Remember this however, Standing firm does not mean standing still. Living as citizens of heaven among enemies of the Cross will never be easy. The spiritual warfare is intense; we can easily panic, lose our sense of stability, and defect. We must, therefore actively pursue a strategy of strategy of steadfastness. And that can only be accomplished through Christ strength. Stand firm in the Lord!

               To close, lets's step back our study and consider how well we are marching in step with God's strategy. Are you  following good examples? Are you in contact with and reaching out to enemies of the Cross? Is your conduct uniguely christian? Have you been standing firm

                God has left us here for a reason:  to reach out to those who are stoll in the dark and bring them into the light of Christ. When you understand that you realize isn't to strange after all. Infact, it is the most sane and loving strategy ever to be conceived or executed
