Paul Jon Am I growing in the gospel? Using truth and love in our communication 11 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers and sisters. Whoever speaks evil against another or judges another, speaks evil against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy. So who, then, are you to judge your neighbor? James 4:11-12 (NSRV) But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, Ephesians 4:15 (NSRV) Not just about vertical relationships (love God) but horizontal relationships (love others) Slander and judgement are interchangeable in James’ language You can speak truth and still be full of slander and judgement How do you know if you have … Continue reading →

Paul Jon Looking at Phillipians 4 Next week Paul’s got a friend coming in from his Gospel signing days Week after that, Maria and I will be talking about contentment V4-14 Be glad in the Lord always! Again I say, be glad! Let your gentleness show in your treatment of all people. The Lord is near.

Then the peace of God that exceeds all understanding will keep your hearts and minds safe in Christ Jesus.

Practice these things: whatever … Continue reading →

Paul Jon Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have. (Philippians 1:27-30 ESV) Also in acts and first Thessalonians So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis, and from … Continue reading →
