It’s product beautiful – yet process dangerous?
The sinful nature is put to death.
It challenges a lie. It cuts through pride.
True love is ultimately refining, and captivating!
As tempting and attractive as the storm clouds appear,
Deviate at all cost – penetration may cost you the ship.
Philippians 2:1-11
1 If you have any encouragement
from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship
with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make
my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit
and purpose. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain
conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each
of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of
others.
5 Your attitude should be the same as
that of Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7 but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death —
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
