Reflections on Philippians #4: Be an Example

Todd R Leave a comment

“Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.” – Philippians 3:17

At the time of Paul’s letter to the Philippians, the gospels of Mark and John probably weren’t written yet, and the other two may not have been broadly available. New Christians couldn’t easily read about Christ, so Paul recommends learning about Him through His other followers.

Today, most will not search the Bible for God. What can people learn about Christ from you and I on our blogs and elsewhere?

6 Months of Learning to Trust the Fall

Dear fellow travelers,

It’s been 6 months since I first posted “42 is Not the Answer.” I had no goal in mind, only to organize what thoughts I had and hoping to encourage others by sharing them. There’s a saying that sharing Christ is like one beggar offering another beggar his only loaf of bread.

Progress has been slow – I still have not posted some of the earliest ideas. The Word file for “42” was created in January, and the file for the next expected blog post was created in February!

I had in mind some things about format, frequency, etc. Short posts were not part of “the plan,” but here we are.

On our path to eternity, my plans are not what matter and I only hope to use what tools I have to honor our Maker and King.

Thank you for traveling with me.

Borrowing the lyrics from this song, I think I’m learning to trust the fall. Take a listen.
