February 5, 2024

The Call to Maturity

Paul's letter to the church in Philippians reminds us of the importance of humility, compassion, and selflessness in our interactions with others. It is not enough to simply accumulate wealth and possessions; we must also consider how we acquire them, what we do with them, and how we view them.

●    How You View What You Have: Do we see ourwealth and possessions as gifts from God to be used for His glory, or do weview them as treasures to be hoarded for our own selfishdesires?
