Many people declare that they would give up everything for God. However, when a ballgame is scheduled, a promotion comes, a needed vacation begins, and a favorite show started, we often forget our thanksgivings to God and Christ. The apostle Paul sets a common example among mature Christians that helps us to devote ourselves faithfully to reading, prayer, service, giving, worship, evangelizing, and making disciples. This message draws out the focus of mature Christians from Philippians 3 so that we may remain devoted.
