Back from Church!

Preached from Philippians 2:19-21
(19)  But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
(20)  For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
(21)  For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.

Basically, most Christians are just way too selfish to the serve the Lord - I still can't believe that of the people following Paul at the time, sitting under his preaching, and learning at his feet, there was only one, young Timothy, who was not seeking his own, but was seeking the things of Christ.

We see it heaps today, but I just think that to sit under his preaching and ministry you could not help but be on fire for the Lord - but then again sinful flesh is what it is. It is only when we lean fully on Him that we can overcome it. And of course when He changes us "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye..."

Have a great Lord's day, and get back to fellowship with Him and your local church tonight too!
