Philippians 2:1-11

Where do I draw the line against being likeminded as Philippians 2:2 requires? Why?

“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory” — had I adhered to that fully yesterday, what would I have left undone or done differently? And how will I do better at that today?

How much do I want a lowly mind? What am I willing to do to attain to it?

“Esteem other better than themselves” — on what basis should I do that?

Can I be a Christian and not “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus”? Does God expect me to somehow actively pursue that?

Whom does God call me to serve today?

Before whom must I humble myself today?

Stand fast in the Lord.

My foot hath held his steps,
his way have I kept, and not declined.

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil…

If any man draw back,
my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

But we are not of them
who draw back into perdition…

If ye continue in my word
then are ye my disciples indeed.

He that shall endure unto the end,
the same shall be saved.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith…

He that overcometh,
the same shall be clothed in white raiment…
