Dear Fellow readers,
I have had the book of Philippians on my mind the past few days, so I have decided to read and write about it in a study format. Feel free to follow along and do the study at your pace. I am also embarking on doing a study in the Book of Joshua, by Jen Wilkins with a group of ladies tomorrow and reading One in a Million by Priscilia Shirer . I must say that I have my plate full and I pray that I can keep up with it all, but even if I don’t get all done, it is okay.
I am reading from the New Living Translation but you can choose to compare it to the one you normally read.
