Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you must stand firm in the Lord, my beloved. Philippians 4:1
Paul, The Apostle of Grace
In Philippians 4:1, Paul completes his exhortation to the Philippian believers, concerning righteousness by faith alone in Jesus alone and living with perspective, purpose,and purity, telling them “that is how you must stand firm in the Lord.”
There was so much “fake news” being communicated in the churches of Paul’s time concerning how a person becomes righteous before God that Paul wrote to churches explaining to them the truth of how to become righteous before God, which, as Paul taught, comes by grace through faith in Jesus. |

A popular phrase around the world is “Fake News”. This is due to many people in the media who present news stories as truth, when in reality, these stories are false, or mixed with a little truth and a lot of error.
Just as there is fake news in the media, there is fake news in many churches. These churches present a message to people that is filled with incorrect teachings, yet are presented as biblical. These teachings are circulated throughout the church in a variety of ways: sermons, small groups, Sunday school classes, discipleship programs, mentoring relationships, counseling sessions, revivals, and conferences. |
