"Our business is to present the Christian faith clothed in modern terms, not to propagate modern thought clothed in Christian terms. Confusion here is fatal." - J.I. Packer

Zeros and Ones: Content In Christ
We bring our discipleship series to a close by looking at one of the most misconstrued and misunderstood passages in all of scripture (Philippians 4:13). As we study and cross reference - allowing the scripture to interpret itself - we discover that this verse is more that just a catch all for positive actions. In its proper context, we are being offered so much more. This truth flies in the face of what is known in present day as the "Prosperity/Word of Faith" movement...
Did Jesus come to make you happy? Make you rich? Did he die to make your life "abundant" and easy?!
Yes. But probably not in the way that you think...
Soli Deo Gloria,
Shon
