The Spirit of Giving

from Calvary Baptist Church · host Dan Lashley

Philippians 4:14-20 In 4:11, Paul wrote that in whatever situation he found himself, he had learned to be "independent of circumstances" (Greek word used only once in N.T.). However, he wasn't belittling the blessings the Philippians had sent his way. In fact, he stated that they had a part in evangelizing the Roman palace guard (1:5-14; 4:22). In true Pauline fashion, he was seeking blessings from God to those who gave for the "furtherance of the gospel" (1:12). The spirit of giving is a hallmark of true Christianity. It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35).
