A Life That Is Centered In Christ

 There are certain threats that are common to all Christian churches that are identified at Philippi. One is the infiltration of false teachers whose outward appearance is that of a gentle lamb but inwardly are ravening wolves seeking to shed blood, destroy souls, and accumulate dishonest gain. We are instructed to identify such teachers by their bitter fruit. Another problem is internal division which endangers the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace and love between believers.
 Paul's antidote to most of the difficulties in Christian communion is to be like-minded, having the same love, and being one in spirit. It means doing nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but rather, in humility of heart, valuing each other above ourselves.
 Humility of spirit, gentleness of disposition, love for each other, and joy in the Lord, are all fruits of the Spirit which burst forth in A Life That Is Centered In Christ as Charlie Kirk demonstrated in his life.
 Let us love one another, for love is of God. He who loves as Christ loved us, is born of God and knows Him. Paul's earnest cry at the end of His life was: "That I may know Christ." Let this be our earnest desire today and for the rest of our lives. As we know Christ more intimately, may we love others more deeply and, with humility of heart, value others above ourselves.
Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, it is our desire to do nothing out of selfish motives or ungodly incentives. Instead, with humble hearts, we pray we would truly value others above ourselves. May all we do in our lives be always to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
