Putting Verses Back in Their Context: Philippians 4:13
Listen now
Description
Today we begin an occasional series looking at verses that are typically taken out of their biblical context, and we attempt to put them back into their context. First up, Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Ever popular in the sports world, we talk about what it really means to have Christ strengthen us, and how we can apply it in our everyday lives. Our recommendations: 1) Read the Bible. 2) Become a member at a church. 3) How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart (https://smile.amazon.com/How-Read-Bible-All-Worth/dp/0310517826/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3D4A8BYQ9OB9D&dchild=1&keywords=how+to+read+the+bible+for+all+its+worth&qid=1619740280&sprefix=how+to+read+the+bib%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-1). 4) Knowing Scripture by R.
