We started out laughing about how far we were sitting from Ron. Just like most people do in church - head for the back pews. More people arrived and we had a couple on the phone. This was a fun meeting.
The opening prayer contained a wonderful statement asking God to bring thoughts of Him to the front and discard the thoughts that aren't of Him.
We are still in Chapter two of Philippians. We started with verse 12 as a review for a couple of people who had joined us. Ron mentioned Acts 20 about how Paul made an example of himself. He did not complain about being in jail and in chains. He shined (and sang) with his love for God.
Ron asked for examples of how this works in our workplace.
1 Cor 15:58 Stand firm. Always give yourself fully to the work of the Lord. The work is not in vain. The Lord can see the big picture. (You might just see the trunk of a tree but the Lord can see the entire forest - He sees what that was meant for.)
Col 3:12: As God's chosen people, dearly loved . . . bear with each other as the Lord forgives you . . . be thankful.
