LIVING FOR WHAT REALLY MATTERS
“Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer
and intelligence.” This is the most important, the first on
any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: “Love
others as well as you love yourself.”

READ PHILIPPIANS 1:3-8
Early in the morning on the first Sunday of December 2017, I
received an urgent text from my friend and pastor, Nirup Alphonse:
Hey T—Please pray. The team showed up to get the trailer and start setting up church this morning, and it’s gone. Meeting up with them now.
At the time, our church was mobile, a set-up-and-tear-down
gathering that uses space at the high school—and that trailer held everything from our screen and A/V system to our tithe baskets, Bibles, and
coffee maker and cups (you know, the important stuff). Over a hundred
thousand dollars’ worth of what we would have said was important stuff
was in the trailer—and someone had taken all of it in the night.
