The Apostle Paul had greater human credentials, qualifications and attainment than most of his peers. Yet he reminded the Philippian believers that all those things, previously counted as gain, were now viewed as waste or rubbish for the excellency of knowing Christ Jesus. In an age when men’s accomplishments are paramount, it’s good for the believer to remember what he is and has in Christ. —Wm. H. Gustafson
Take the world, but give me Jesus,
All its joys are but a name;
But His love abideth ever,
Thru’ eternal years the same. —Fanny Crosby
