Hi! and happy TGIF to all of us, GUYS. Our "food for the soul" this Friday:
THE GOOD NEWS (04 November 2016)
"Unite in imitating me, brothers and sisters, and look at those who walk in our way of life. For many live as enemies of the cross of CHRIST. I have said it to you many times, and now I repeat it with tears: they are heading for ruin; their belly is their god and they feel proud of what should be their shame. They only think of earthly things.
For us, our citizenship is in heaven, from where we await the coming of our Savior, JESUS CHRIST, the LORD. HE will transfigure our lowly body, making it like HIS own body, radiant in Glory, through the power which is HIS to submit everything to HIMSELF.
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, you my glory and crown, be steadfast in the LORD." - Philippians 3:17-4:1
(Paul speaks ironically again about those who believe they belong to a superior class of Christians, while he would not dare consider himself to be perfect.
Finally, he insists on the resurrection. Because we know that our bodies [or persons] will be raised and that the universe will be renewed, we must put passing things in their place: food, wine, sex - all must stop being the idols that enslave us.)
