The uncertain times in which we live cause us to turn to God in desperation more than ever before. What we need is joy and peace, and the Lord has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness in the Scriptures. When the days are dark, we know that God’s Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (Psalm 119:105).

Paul’s letter to the Philippian believers is an instruction manual, spoken out of first hand experience, on how to grasp the real Christian joy that often seems so elusive to us. These words from the Holy Spirit spoken through the Apostle also teach us how to enjoy the peace that we’ve strived after for so long. Paul greatly encourages us because he lives this life of joy and peace in spite of all the circumstances that could otherwise bring him to despair.

We don’t have to despair over our circumstances either. This life of joy and peace IS obtainable through serious meditation on the passages in the book of Philippians.

This site is a collection of my commentary on theology, current events, and everyday blue collar life. My primary purpose is to share my own personal studies in the Scriptures and to show how the Bible has been changing my life. The content here is meant to be an encouragement to my brothers and sisters in Christ: to view everything through the lens of God’s Word, for the Scriptures are what shapes our thinking and governs our behavior.
