March was a whirlwind of activity for me. A variety of weekend writing and church ministry conferences.

I was spiritually challenged and inspired. This Sunday’s lesson was in Philippians 3. Paul describes what he is willing to give up to share in the resurrection power of Jesus and his Father. Nor can Paul understand why anyone wouldn’t want that same power for their lives. What about you? Why wouldn’t you want A God on your side who has the power to raise the dead?

From The Message

 

Phil. 3:10 ¶ I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself.

Phil. 3:11 If there was any way to get in on the resurrection from the dead, I wanted to do it.
