Philippians Quotes

“If you are ready to trade the hollow self-made beauty of this world for the glorious Christ-built beauty of a set-apart young woman, this is where it all begins. Denying self, taking up your cross, and following the Lamb wherever He leads. In other words, letting go of all preoccupation with self: our comfort, our pleasure, our agenda, our popularity, our ability to gain the world's approval, even our own dreams and desires. And, as Paul did, treating all those things as rubbish for the excellence of the knowledge of Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings (Philippians 3:7-9).”
― Leslie Ludy

“Isn't God the one who urges us to "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord"? Why do we always think that means singing? Seems to me the most obvious joyful sound on earth is laughter... I've seen folks quote verses like "Rejoice in the Lord always" while their faces look like they just buried a rich uncle who willed everything to his pregnant guinea pig. Something is missing.”
― Charles R. Swindoll, Laugh again hope again

“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and your minds through Christ Jesus.”
― Anonymous, The Holy Bible: King James Version

“Paul's suffering was neither corrective nor instructive. It was simply permitted by God so that the gospel might spread to others.”
― James Montgomery Boice, Philippians

“Emulate those who are interested in the well-being of others, not in their own. Be on the alert for Christians who really do exemplify this basic Christian attitude, this habit of helpfulness. They are never the sort who strut their way into leadership with inflated estimates of their own importance. They are the kind who cheerfully pick up after other people. They are not offended if no one asks about them; they are too busy asking about others. They are the kind who are constantly seeking to do good spiritually, to do good materially, to do good emotionally. They are committed to the well-being of others.”
― D.A. Carson, Basics for Believers: An Exposition of Philippians

“You are not here by accident. You are where you are by divine appointment, for the purposes of sharing the gospel”
― Steven J. Lawson, Philippians For You: Shine With Joy as You Live by Faith

“Philippines is the only country so far, where I have not faced any hate and bigotry.”
