Rev. John Lukomski, co-host of Wrestling with the Basics on KFUO Radio, joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Philippians 1:18b-30. Find Wrestling with the Basics at kfuo.org/wrestlingwiththebasics.

“For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”  Paul encompasses the reality of being a baptized child of God.  We may ask the question, “Why does God have me here?”  Paul assures the Philippians that when we are in Christ, we do not know why things happen, but we do know that in life we have Christ to serve others and to die is to be with the Lord.  Suffering may come, but in faith we trust that the Gospel will be advanced and joy comes with Him.  “Lord God, we bring all brothers and sisters in Christ, that we all live worthy of the Gospel and rejoice in all circumstances.  Lord have mercy, Amen”
