Hello Partner

Paul says in Philipians 1:4 "In all my prayers for all of you I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now."  Paul was praying for them, and commending them for being partners.  Having Paul pray for you, well that's a big deal.  That dude experienced miracle after miracle in his life.  (Ya, I just called Paul a dude.)  He called those who helping him ‘partners’.   Now when you are a partner in a business you share in the profits and benefits of that business.  Paul was changing the whole planet, planting churches and developing churches.  To accomplish so much he needed some partners.  Their partnership was to give to help pay for all of this. The church in Phillipi was very giving as he describes later on in chapter 3.  We can be partners too.  Ok, so how can you partner with in the gospel today?  Well, how about your local church.  It's the house of God, and I’ll bet they are sharing the gospel every week.  Or this radio station.  These are voices of the gospel and you have an opportunity to share in the reward by becoming a partner.  Partner with the gospel today.
