17. READ: PHILIPPIANS 2:12-16
[Philippians 2:12] "Therefore, my dear friends, as you
have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more
in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear
and trembling, [13] for it is God Who works in you to will and to
act according to His good purpose.
[14] "Do everything without complaining or arguing,
[15] so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God
without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you
shine like stars in the universe [16] as you hold out the Word of
Life--in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I
did not run or labor for nothing."
a. What kind of "generation" do we live in?
b. What should we "hold out" to this generation?
