From Philippi We Learn

• NOT to wait on others

Philippians 415-16 You yourselves also know,
Philippians, that at the first preaching of the
gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared
with me in the matter of giving and receiving but
you alone16. for even in Thessalonica you sent a
gift more than once for my needs.

1 Peter 310-12

• For, "THE ONE WHO DESIRES LIFE, TO LOVE AND SEE
  GOOD DAYS, MUST KEEP HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL AND HIS
  LIPS FROM SPEAKING DECEIT.11. "HE MUST TURN AWAY
  FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD HE MUST SEEK PEACE AND
  PURSUE IT.12. "FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE
  TOWARD THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ATTEND TO
  THEIR PRAYER, BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST
  THOSE WHO DO EVIL."

Matthew 77-8

• "Ask, and it will be given to you seek, and you
  will find knock, and it will be opened to you.

  seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be
  opened.

• A building is only as good as its foundation

• 1 Corinthians 312-13
• Now if any man builds on the foundation with
  gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
  13. each man's work will become evident

• Philippians 315-16
• Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have
  this attitude and if in anything you have a
  different attitude, God will reveal that also to
  you16. however, let us keep living by that same
  standard to which we have attained.

God has given us a pattern to guide us By His
word, Teachers, The church. ARE YOU LIVING BY
HIS STANDARD?
