“I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation – the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ – for this will bring much glory and praise to God.” (Philippians 1:10, 11)
This little paragraph pretty much sums up the way I feel as I do what I can to support families and individuals in their life’s walk. The Apostle Paul knew that if the believers in the Philippian church understood what really mattered, it would make a difference in the way they live. He knew they would be able to live pure and blameless lives in society if they really knew what was important. I believe that about us, too.
This blog is meant to get us to think about what is important. What really matters is allowing Jesus Christ to develop us into people who have righteous character. Every hurdle we cross, every barrier we face, every moment of joy (or sorrow) is meant to produce righteous character in us. How's it going in your life?
