To Live is Christ and to Die is Gain



The apostle Paul inspired generations of Christ-followers with his simple but profound life-statement, “for to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” We examine that statement here in Philippians to challenge ourselves to pursue that ideal with all our being as Paul had found satisfying in his day.

It is also a touching time of year as some of our kids (who have been clandestinely growing up) are hitting the milestone of high school graduation.   We included some audio as we honor two of our guys transitioning to adulthood.  We are indeed blessed with these and many other fine young people.

Prayer of Thanks for his friends



Tough and passionate, yet the apostle Paul stopped to write thank you notes to those wonderful friends who financially supported his ministry.  And we benefit from that gratitude with the wonderful letter to the church in Philippi.  We take a Sunday to appreciate his gratitude and learn more about prayers of thanksgiving.
