Philippians 2:2 – Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

No matter where we travel or how far we roam from home, Christ’s church is present. How so? God has a people in every nation and kindred and tongue. Borders do not limit the Holy Spirit.

We have differences of course. Aside from language and cultural heritage, different congregations vary in worship and even some beliefs. What all true Christians share is a love of Christ Jesus, the Son of God, born in Bethlehem who lived and died and rose again the third day.

This love we share is the source of our strength and unity. To fulfill his joyful desire, the Apostle Paul wanted the Philippians to excel in loving service to Christ as one. Those who love one another find common ground and common purpose. Marriages, families and churches and even nations benefit from this likeminded unity founded upon the love of Christ.

Find common ground today with those in your life. Share your love of the Savior. Join your hearts together.

Since Paul used the phrase “made a minister” in verse twenty-three of this same chapter, it seems there is something important that he wishes to convey. The Greek word translated as “made” means “to cause to be.” It was the will of God (Col 1:1) that caused Paul to become a minister. God is always the cause of true ministry. Although our fathers may be ministers, if we become true ministers of the gospel it is not because our fathers are ministers. True ministers of the gospel do not take that path because they seek honor for themselves, or b...

Daily Devotion: Exodus 7:6-10

Exodus 7:6-10 "And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they. And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh. And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent." Moses and Aaron had begun to doubt whether they were right for the job the LORD had given them. Here, it is evident that God granted them a renewal of their faith. Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them. In my opinion, all truly successful outcomes in our lives begin with this. Moses and Aaron were not young men. Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old. Still,...
