2.) Don’t waste your time on what doesn’t matter

3.) Don’t just know Christ, but also experience him.

RELIGION A - is the label of ‘Christian'. It's the practice of attending church without genuine faith in the living Lord.

RELIGION B - is a life-transforming, destiny-changing experience. It's a definite commitment to the crucified and risen Savior, which establishes an ongoing personal relationship between a forgiven sinner and a gracious God

Philipians 2:19-30

1.) Inflamed (sensitive)

2.) Stress and strain on emotional and physical state

3.) Effects the person whole healthcare system

Proverbs 18:14

Ephesians 4:31-32

1.) Choose to put away your Hurt

2.) Choose to Forgive as God forgave us.

3.) Allow Jesus to heal

"Some have a wounded spirit through the cruelty of men, the unkindness of children, the ingratitude of those whom they have helped, and for whom they have had such affection that they would almost have been willing to sacrifice their own lives. It is a terrible wounding when he who should have been your friend becomes your foe, and when, like your Lord, you also have your Judas Iscariot. It is not easy to bear misrepresentation and falsehood, to have your purest motives misjudged, and to be thought to be only seeking something for yourself when you have a pure desire for the good of others. This is a very painful kind of wounded spirit, but it must not be allowed to be carried too far...let me recommend as a choice remedy for a wounded spirit; an enlarged view of the love of God."

- Charles Spurgeon

Philippians 2:12-18

1. Let salvation do its work (let it work everyday of your not just Sunday)

"In a culture that loves speed and efficiency, it is not difficult to get a person interested in the message of the gospel; it is terrifically difficult to sustain the interest. To follow Christ faithfully, requires a long obedience in the same direction.” - Eugene Peterson

2. Do everything different (without grumbling or disputing)

3. Hold fast to the word of God (the how to)

Without the gospel we hate ourselves instead of our sin. Without the gospel we’re motivated through all sorts of awful fear and pride to change and it doesn’t really change our hearts; it just restrains our hearts.”

― Timothy Keller
