And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
Have you ever thought about the kind of gifts God gives? The kind of things that God grants to us to experience? Have you ever gone out on a bright sunshiny day and you just can't help but be filled with the sense that God, has bestowed this, has granted this, for us to experience? Paul says God grants other things for us to experience. Philippians chapter one he says, Verse 29, For you, it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for his sake. Sometimes the things God grants aren't always pleasant to experience, but they are for our benefit. If you're suffering for Christ, hold fast and stay strong.
