Paul was in Troas and sailed 10 Minute Awakening over to Philippi, and after a most unpromising start, and a ministry cut short by opposition and imprisonment, he is still able to leave a vibrant Christian Fellowship in Philippi.In Acts 20 verse 6, we read that he was able to visit them briefly, but when this letter is written from prison in Rome some 12 years later, it is written to a strong Christian Church, and there is not much wrong with it.
The only danger is that of disunity. There were two women who were not getting on and one person referred to them as 'Odious' and 'Soon Touchy'. Do you think that they may have relatives who still frequent churches?Now, these thoughts come from my recent reading and study of the letter to the Philippian Church of Jesus Christ which is to be found in the New Testament and which can be read in around fifteen minutes!
From Paul and Timothy, this small team, to all the saints and with the bishops and deacons, to the elders and deacons - what a marvellous way to start a vital letter.There was a plurality of leadership. The letter is written to the Episkopoi, or to the overseers, or the elders, the elders and servants, or the elders and helpers. When you speak about servants and slaves and helpers, that can do much to rid the place of rivalry.
