Choosing Joy

Our sermon this week was on the excercise of celebration - essentially the choice of joy in every circumstance. Not for every circumstance, but in the midst of it, to reveal and show God's glory as the ultimate end of all situations. Brad challenged us to read Phillipians this week so I'm doing that each day this week. Today I did an overall reading and circled each time Paul wrote joy or rejoice.
Then today I ran across this article on Boundless, a marvelous Christian webzine I frequent. It reinforced much of what Brad said and I wanted to share it with you. Or you can read about it on Pastor Brad's blog here. Enjoy!
