"But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, BY ANY MEANS, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead." Phil 3:7-11...what things were gain...I have counted LOSS FOR CHRIST....count ALL THINGS loss for the EXCELLENCE of the KNOWLEDGE ...for whom I have SUFFERED the loss of ALL THINGS...count them rubbish that I MAY GAIN CHRIST.....Paul SUFFERED.....in the flesh...not by losing his cell phone, or not being able to pay his mortgage...HE WAS BEATEN AND THROWN IN JAIL because HE PREACHED CHRIST....WE DO NOT SUFFER FOR CHRIST....we glory in the flesh...all we do is count earthly blessings...cars, houses, ...ohh.. that $100 or more coach purse to carry on my arm......minds are on the things of the earth...and far from Christ..."for they worship me with their lips yet their hearts are far from me"...." For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus."......
