To Keep Our Heart & Mind - Phil 4:4-7

This book of Philiphi is very unique because every chapter contains of the word JOY.

Chapter 1 contains of Joy in suffering.
Chapter 2 contains of Joy in serving.
Chapter 3 contains of Joy in believing.
Chapter 4 contains of Joy in blessing.

There are several kind of Joy that men can have :
1. Physically Joy -- It happens when physically needs are provided (money, health, etc)
2. Joy in Soul -- We could experience it when somebody understand us. We feel comfort, save and sound.
3. Joy in Spirit -- It is the Joy that comes from the heart. It doesn't depend on situation & condition.


Why must we keep our heart & mind ?
Because life is a grace. It was a gift form the first time God created Adam.
Life is created from nothing.. because of His charity..

But so many christian can not find or realize that life is a gift that is supposed to be a blessing for us.
This is what devil does .. to steal, to kill, and to destroy.
You can imagine, life that is created to become a grace for people.. now become a death.

God wants us to enjoy the lives He has given to us. Jesus clearly stated on Mat 11:28-30. He wants us to carry His burden that will give us a hope, not worldly burden that gives people heavy lives.

Heb 4:15-16 teach us how to face pressures & challenges in our lives.


For Discussion :

Share your life style that you want to build in order to keep your heart & mind in JOY and share your life style that you commit to destroy because they hinder you from living in JOY.
