Episode 210 - Let Your Moderation Be Known

The world often celebrates those who are the loudest.The quickest to respond.The first to defend themselves.We are told that strength means standing our ground at every opportunity.Winning every argument.Never letting anyone take advantage of us.Yet the life of Christ reveals another kind of strength.A strength that remains calm when others are angry.A strength that answers harshness with kindness.A strength that refuses to be controlled by the emotions of the moment.As Paul continues his closing encouragements to the Philippians, he gives a simple command that speaks volumes about the character of a follower of Christ.“Let your moderation be known unto all men.”
