Developing Character (3 of 6)

Philippians 1:9-11
Roy Rogers has been called the ''King of Cowboys.'' He appeared in 91 films and 102 TV shows. He was known to millions of fans as the hero in his white 10 gallon-hat riding his beloved palomino horse, Trigger, who tracked down the bad guys.

God is concerned with developing our character because he wants us to become godly like Jesus Christ and to live righteous lives. You see, who we are causes us to choose what we do. In other words, our character determines our conduct. Proverbs 20:11 NIV Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right.
Paul prays for the Philippians that their character would develop by abounding in love, being discerning in wisdom and living godly. ABOUNDING LOVE :9 Paul was never content that believers would just continue t ...
