Transcription de la présentation

  1. At the heart of this letter: • The exhortation to stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together…” Phil. 1:27 • To maintain the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Phil. 2:2 • To do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility… Phil. 2:3

  2. So many of us as Christians, however, are beset by our own sinful ways: pride, arrogance, selfishness, and worldliness. • The result: conflict and strife among people…even among our own brethren we love. • If we are to grow as a body – our thoughts and deeds need to be “likeminded” in Christ.

  3. If we are to grow as a body – our thoughts and deeds need to be “likeminded” in Christ.

  4. Our thoughts are the key to how we walk before God and maintain fellowship among brethren. • As a man thinks in his heart, so he is. Prov. 23:7 • While our thoughts do not always manifest itself outwardly…they reveal exactly the kind of person we are before God.

  5. Our thoughts need to center on the well-being of others. Phil. 2:3-4 • We may all be equal in Christ, but our attitude should reflect a humility that esteems others as more important than self. Gal. 3:28

  6. Out of the abundance of the heart a man speaks (and acts). • A person with an evil heart eventually produces fruit representative of it. Lk. 6:45 • Those with a good and noble heart speak the truth in love. Eph. 4:14-16

  7. Our heart manifests itself by the way we speak about others. Jas. 3:13-18 • Thus, our actions are very telling about what resides within the heart. • It will exude either the wisdom of God or Satan’s chaos and division.

  8. Applying Paul’s exhortation. • Our speech and behavior should reflect both humility and the interest of our brethren. • This cannot happen, however, without emptying ourselves…THAT is at the heart of being “likeminded”.

  9. What do your thoughts, speech and behavior reveal about you? • If you want to grow in the Lord be likeminded in Christ and see how effective the body of Christ can be.
