Palmer St. Podcast: Philippians 3:12-21
An Optical Illusion, Spiritually Speaking: Some things that seem so important to us now are really minor, fleeting things. Yet heaven, our real home and the place that gives life on earth its meaning, may hardly enter our thoughts. The closer things are much easier for us to focus on. They look bigger, but how important are they in light of eternity? In the section of Philippians, Paul explains how we can avoid falling for this trick that the world plays on our spiritual eyesight.

Why is it that not all Christians are joyful? Why is it that others seem to exude the most profound joy in the midst of the most trying circumstances?

“Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.”
– Mark Twain
This section of Philippians teaches us that we need to live lives that others can emulate. More than that, we need to remember that the example that we show the world may be the only evidence they care to see regarding the reality of faith in Jesus Christ. As Christians, we owe the world a reliable example of a well-lived life.
