Therefore, my loved ones, just as you always obey me, not just when I am present but now even more while I am away, carry out your own salvation with fear and trembling. God is the one who enables you both to want and to actually live out his good purposes. Do everything without grumbling and arguing so that you may be blameless and pure, innocent children of God surrounded by people who are crooked and corrupt. Among these people you shine like stars in the world because you hold on to the word of life. This will allow me to say on the day of Christ that I haven’t run for nothing or worked for nothing. But even if I am poured out like a drink offering upon the altar of service for your faith, I am glad. I’m glad with all of you. You should be glad about this in the same way. Be glad with me!

3 Days
As God unfolds the possibilities and opportunities sitting at our fingertips, may we not just lead now, but lead well. In this 3-day reading plan, Brad Lomenick offers key essentials by which you can identify your God-given purpose and act on it with authenticity and courage.
Being chosen by God means you are predestined to shine out the glory of God and shine among the world like the stars! But do you believe that? These guided audio meditations are a reflection on that shining. Discover the presence of God within you and reflect on emptying yourself of the false hope the world offers to be filled with the shining presence of the divine.
When we grow closer to God, we help those around us learn more about him. These verses help us deepen our understanding of God and his will for us. This plan is an abbreviated collection from the One Question Bible Study Series and focuses on life-giving passages with a single reflection question to ponder.
Through this plan, we read Philippians 2 to understand the message Paul was getting across to the church. Seeing things in their proper perspective can change our thinking and, ultimately, our responses to the things around us. Paul, in his letter, brings perspective to who we are, resulting in how we should behave when we choose a life in Christ.
