No one can be considered truly educated who has not made a careful study of the Bible, especially the New Testament. It is in the Bible that we learn those great truths about how to live and, more importantly, what one has to do to go to heaven. The Bible is the world standard for truth. Jesus said He was the truth, and He gave careful instruction about how to live. He showed Himself as the savior of the world and taught much about living.

Although the Bible does not answer every possible question about life and the world around us, it always guides us in the right direction to find the truth if we truly want it.

Our world is in serious trouble today because we have neglected the truth: the truth of the Word of God, and prayer, as well as how to live in the world around us.

The apostle Paul had a very special relationship with the church at Philippi, and it comes through in his writings. He loved them dearly, but he loved them even more for their care of him.

He wanted them to be happy, and he taught them carefully about the dangers of pride and believing that they are better than others.

This commentary on the book of Philippians is written for the sinner who is concerned about his own eternal destiny. It is written for the Christian who wants to understand how to better walk with the Lord and to understand what the text actually says.

Each word in the text is given from the Greek, with the English meanings as translated. Then there is commentary to help the reader understand more of the meaning as it is used in the Bible.

It is the hope of the author that the reader will undertake a serious study of all the Bible, not just what is covered in this short text. Our prayer is that you will find the study very rewarding.
