We are to be a church of the living God, and not a gathering of the influential and the big shots. The big shots can come if they get on their knees—a big shot on his knees isn’t any taller than anyone else, you know.
Luke 18:9–14; Philippians 2:3–4; James 2:1–5
The Counselor, 11.
A. W. Tozer
The humility of Jesus was God’s ultimate statement of contempt for our culture of pride (Philippians 2:1–11).
Raymond C. Ortlund Jr.; R. Kent Hughes
If we have the single mind of Philippians 1 then we can give adoration. (How can a double-minded person ever praise God?) If we have the submissive mind of Philippians 2, we can come with supplication.
