Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything (Philippians 4:5-6)
“The Lord is near.” What does it mean for us that the Lord is near? As we get ready for Christmas and for Jesus’ return, do we remember that the Lord is near? Do we act as if the Lord is near?

I hope that this email is useful, and that you are able to spend a few minutes at noon each day, as we pray together as a church family. Please do keep sending your prayer suggestions to me, so that we can make sure we are praying around the needs, burdens and encouragements of our whole church family.
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ (Philippians 1:9-10)
We’re continuing our theme of being ready in Advent - how can we be ready, not just for Christmas, but also for Jesus’s return. St Paul, writing to the Philippians wants them to grow in love and in knowledge and in insight. As they do so, they will be able to know what is not just good, but best. He wants them to be pure and blameless when Jesus returns. Is that what we want for ourselves?
