“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.” (Philippians 3:1) There is a popular thought in the world that hearing the instructions of Scripture are out dated or not needed so much.

Without Grumbling or Disputing
“Do all things without grumbling or disputing.” (Philippians 2:14) The discipline of memorizing Scripture is lost on many followers of Christ. Yet it is instructed that we do so and modeled by our Lord to do it. Would you consider attempting to memorize Philippians 2:14-18 with Eastside Baptist Church? Here is a copy of a…
