Series: The Joy of RE - A Study in Philippians

Philippians 3:1-4:1
Yrs ago, Robert Fulghum wrote an essay you might've heard - Most of what I really need to know about life...I learned in kindergarten. He writes, ''True wisdom isn't found in grad school, but in the sand box in nursery school.'' He learned to share every-thing. Play fair. Don't hit. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. And when you go into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.''
I have to say... NOT bad! Maybe Fulghum was on to some-thing as so much of what we learn about life/values/ethics, to a great extent, is learned when we're young. But one lesson that's not learned in kindergarten (and for some never learned) is how to live joyfully content in all things.
Unfortunately, in our dog-eat-dog, Type A-driven culture, the pursuit of true, satisfying joy is exchanged for expedient human achievement/accolades/ambition leaving the driven in pursuit of temporary ''success'' that never lasts or satisfies.
We're in a series in Philippians about returning to our source of joy - about how to allow joy to flood/fill our lives. So far, we've learned that to experience joy, we must first remember who we are in Christ as a result of the Cross.
Second, we find joy in remaining faithful to the Gospel in every aspect of our lives. Third, 2, Paul encourages us to rethink our attitude to make sure it's in line w/ the selfless attitude Jesus modeled. Today, Paul is going to challenge us to reconsider what's really important in life and offer us (3) keys to living focused on the best thing.
reconsider - to re-evaluate, re-assess, re-focus. It refers to looking at something a 2nd time to make sure it is the best way to understand and pursue something.
