Philippians 4:10-23
Chris Breslin
“’This present world is a perfectly safe place for us to be.’ That certainly is what Jesus, and the Bible as a whole, has to say to us. ‘Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever’ (Ps 23).” –Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy
