Poems in Philippians

Fight_or_flight1

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.  Philippians 1:27a NIV

Whatever happens

In every circumstance

Only

Nevertheless

No exceptions

 

Conduct yourselves

Live like a citizen

Manage your affairs

Behave according to the laws

Actions aligned as pledged

 

In a manner worthy

Acting becomingly

Equal to the true value

Authentically suitable

Worthily

 

Of the gospel of Christ

God’s good news of Jesus

The message of the Savior

Glad tidings of the Master of the Kingdom

The true life story of how Jesus lived, died, rose again and made Himself known to me when I did not deserve it. He washed my sins away, cleaned me up, gave me clean clothes and a new start. He promises to never leave me, gives me gifts to use and invites me to participate in sharing with others about His love and sacrifice.

 

So, at all times, I am to always act like a child belonging to God by which I am being changed by the same message that I share about Jesus.
