Day 10

"Read Philippians 3:7-11

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.


1. What are your "credentials" of power, prestige, and popularity?

2. What are some ways most people use these to get where they want to go?

3. In what ways can they be hindrances to a committed Christian?

4. How would your life be different if you genuinely believed the things the world values are rubbish and knowing Christ is the most valuable thing in the world?

5. Journal any thoughts you may have."
