I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
...Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ...
Philippians 1:20, 27 NIV
Paul was concerned that the way he lived was worthy of the gospel (v20), and here in v27 he's concerned about us.
How we live on Monday.
What we watch, where we go, what we choose to be part of, on what we spend our money...is it worthy of the gospel?
There is no list, no yes this is OK, this is not, just a call, a personal call, to consider my everyday choices in the light of the gospel.
How I respond
What I say
Paul wants the reality of the gospel to permeate everything, not just Sunday, but Monday too.
This is not a "big stick" or rules thing, but a gentle, loving request from Paul's heart, from an old pastor in jail for the gospel, lovingly reminding us that what we believe matters :)
