THE BEST OF THE REST

Philippians 4:1-10 •

"if we're going to win this game, we need to make the

most of each possession."

 

• Make unity a priority.

The sad thing about these verses is that this is all we know about them.

How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! (Psalm 133:1)

You'll have to make a habit of giving people a break.

"Let all the world know that you will meet them halfway."

• Make feeling good a priority.

He says the difference can be found in what people dwell on.

Rejoicing is not an emotion, it's an attitude.

When you feel better, you do better.

Most of our negative emotions can be traced to fear.

You fight fear with prayer.

You can't pray well and worry well.

Nothing in the world feels better than knowing that you're right

with God and that God is taking care of you.

• Make excellence a priority.

When you see someone who does something well, learn to do it

the way they do it.

Effective parenting doesn't happen on its own; you've got to

learn from others.

Effective leadership doesn't happen on its own; you've got to learn from others.

Effective discipleship doesn't happen on its own; you've got to

learn from others.
