Philippians 3:17-19
17 Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. 18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.
Reflection
Paul begins a statement here completing his three fold
warning that we read earlier this week. This first part talks about those that are concerned about earthly things. How do think we get caught up in the earthly things? What do we get from these earthly things and is it better than what we have received from God?
