A Frosted Three Layer Cake

The apostle Paul combines three emphases in the first half of his letter to the Philippians (gospel unity, partnership in the gospel, and suffering for the sake of Christ) with a reference to the final words of Moses to encourage the saints in Philippi to carry out their calling to shine like stars in the world by holding fast to the word of life. (Philippians 2.14-18) January 26, 2025
