Is there a biblical way to desire something? Consider some contrasts that Paul makes in Philippians 4.
#1275: What is maturity in relation to the cross? | Philippians 3 | Nehemiah 1-3
#1274: How did Jesus model unity? | Philippians 2 | Ezra 8:21-10:44
#1273: What’s the joy in adversity? | Philippians 1 | Esther 9:20-10:3 | Ezra 7-8:20
Sunday reflection: Of attention and a dog (Philippians 4:8-9)
What I am about to tell you is not unfamiliar. In fact, it is very near to you. And I imagine you may be tempted to move on quickly to something more novel, more educational, more inspiring. But I hope you’ll give me, and perhaps God, an ear for a brief thought about attention, the love of a dog, and a counter-cultural call.
