Philippians 1:12-14 – 12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. 13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. 14 Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly.
Times are coming on where the world doesn’t want anyone to speak freely, courageously, or fearlessly. The reason is, you can’t control people unless only your message is getting through.
With the times ahead we need to speak more courageously and fearlessly for Christ.
We need to continue to keep encouraging one another to do so.
