- 6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. 8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him. 10 For we must all stand before Christ to be judged.

I am going to do something that I have never done before in more than 25 years of preaching. I am going to dedicate this message to a woman who knows far more than I the meaning and the comfort of Paul’s words in our text. I dedicate this message to Kathie Keathley, who from the founding of the Biblical Studies Foundation has been responsible for p...
18 What is the result? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 20 My confident hope is that I will in no way be ashamed ...
21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 Now if I am to go on living in the body, this will mean productive work for me; yet I don’t know what I prefer: 23 I feel torn between the two, because I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far, 24 but it is more vital for your sake that I remain in the body. Paul’s s...
25 And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that because of me you may swell with pride in Christ Jesus, when I come back to you. Paul did have a dilemma. It was the same dilemma I would face if you asked me whether I would prefer a BMW or a Lexus. ...
First, let me conclude this message by pointing out an application to this text to which Paul would say, “God forbid.” Every truth is capable of being distorted in its application, and the truth of Philippians 1:21 is no exception. To die is to gain, when death is the result of our faith and godliness. The same cannot be said for death at our own h...

Sep 19, 2004 · Would it not be better to say it this way: Paul is saying that our true individuality is found—discovered, experienced—in relationship to the body of Christ. Think about verse 5b, “and individually members one of another.”

Apr 22, 2021 · But if we do not discipline ourselves for godliness, we will prove ourselves to be those who tasted the outward benefits of Christianity without ever truly resting in Christ alone for salvation (Heb. 6:4–6).
