IF YOU CARE

Saturday, July 26, 2008

I love the way Eugene Peterson translates (Paraphrases) Philippians 2:1-4.

“If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care—then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed
with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.”

As you read let the words sink in. Good words!
