TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - MAY 27, 2020

Thoughtful Love

Today is May 27, 2020

Welcome to your mid-week!

After thanking God for the church of Philippi, Apostle Paul prays for them. His first prayer? That their sacrificial love would grow more and more.

However, he doesn't just leave it like that. No. He gives very clear parameters in which he hopes this love would grow. Namely in knowledge, depth of insight, and discernment of what is best.

Here is Apostle Paul, in jail, writing from his own experience. Did Apostle Paul love sacrificially? Yes. Did he do it in a way that it would be received well? Probably, not. I mean, he is in jail...and his prayer is not that they would end up in jail too.

No. Apostle Paul's prayer is a prayer for thoughtfulness and practicality so that the sacrificial love done would be received well.

Anyone can love, but it takes knowledge, depth of insight, and discernment to love in a way that the other person feels loved.

God's blessing and protection over you and I look forward to worshiping with you online this Sunday.

- Frank Kim
