Standing for the Lord is easy when we can gather together for services and huge conferences, but will we stand fast in the mind of Christ when the circumstances are more difficult? Paul’s charge for the Philippians is that they would be unified in the faith of the gospel. Will we stand fast and strive together?

In Paul’s sermon on Mars Hill, the Apostle appealed to the spiritual curiosity of the Greek philosophers. He gave them the good news that the Lord and Creator of the Universe was not as far away as they thought. Paul identifies their “UNKNOWN GOD” as the Lord Jesus Christ, who can be intimately known through His Word and His Spirit.
