Philippians 2 Bible Study
*/THEME:/*/ Pattern for Christian living—others; mind of Christ—humble; mind of God—exaltation of Christ; mind of Paul—things of Christ; mind of Timothy—like-minded with Paul—the work of Christ/[1]
One should not imitate Christ, but to study the Word and while studying it, God through the Holy Spirit changes us from within.
God has taught me something through my accident last Saturday.
Two people told me about my shoes and I thought about putting something on top of the ladder while waking on it.
I did nothing about it and had an accident because of it.
God tries to show us the way and we need to be sensitive to His leading.
We are only going to get that way as we study the Bible.
