Of all of the apostle Paul's letters, his letter to the church in Philippi is one of the most beloved. He writes as a friend, a mentor, and a pastor to people who have always been generous in their support. At the same time, he addresses the challenges that are coming at them from both outside and inside the congregation. We will explore his warm, wise counsel for its relevance today.Copyright 2025 Cameron Lee. All rights reserved. Christianity Spirituality

    Though Paul wants the Philippians to hear his gratitude, he also wants to make sure they hear it rightly. “It’s not about the gift itself,” he tells them, again, in a way that might sound a bit rude. But he points them instead to the deeper reason for his gratitude.
