Walk Boldly With Jesus

Don’t Be Selfish Philippians 2:4-5 “Abandon every display of selfishness. Possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interests.

I have just been reading one chapter a day, and it is onl...

Don’t Limit Your Joy Philippians 3:1a “My beloved ones, don’t ever limit your joy or fail to rejoice in the wonderful experience of knowing our Lord Jesus!” I like this verse because it is a good reminder.
