So, let’s look at some of the other big statements Paul makes.ġ4 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 So, that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’ Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. I think it will really encourage people and give some clear direction for us as believers in ‘such a time as this’. So, if you missed last week, go back and check it out. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. Last week we looked at the first of these instructions Paul gave us, was to be unified as the Church, to love one another!ģ Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. So, all the more the ‘whatever happens’ cannot be dismissedĢ7 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.This is written with a very real understanding of a difficult season.So, he is not out skipping through the tulips writing nice memos.Side Note: Paul is writing this while in prison for his faith. Paul, under the instruction of the Holy Spirit, gives us some concrete plans and instructions whatever happens. Whatever happens in our job, families, communities, fits into this!.And tomorrow ‘whatever happens’ – it fits into it!.

Whatever happens (despite your thoughts, feelings, plans, circumstances) he then gives us the instruction. The message is don’t go figuring to change the plan because you think otherwise.Usually that the information is important.Whenever we tell a person ‘whatever happens’, do this or don’t do this: Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. We read from Philippians Paul’s instructions given to the church with the context of ‘whatever happens’.Ģ7 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.
