We are representatives of the gospel here on the earth (Phil. 1:27).

A testimony of God's providence in my own life (Ps. 139:9-10).

The testimony of quarterback Nick Foles (Phil. 1:21)

Paul saw the difficulties he faced in life as opportunities to share the gospel (Phil. 1:12).

There are unpleasant and difficult things in life that we'd rather do without, but God can use those to bring us closer to Him (II Cor. 12:7).
