PAUL ON LIFE:
ATTITUDE NOVEMBER 16,2008

Life

1. Paul’s faith

²¹ for to me, to live is
Christ . . . Philippians 1:21

2. Paul’s confidence
¹³ I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

3. Paul’s thinking

⁸ And
now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on
what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and
admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of
praise. Philippians 4:8 (NLT)

4. Paul’s attitude

⁴
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
Philippians 4:4

5. Paul’s life

• His critics ¹⁸ But that doesn’t matter. Whether their motives are false or
  genuine, the message about Christ is being preached either way, so I
  rejoice. And I will continue to rejoice. Philippians 1:18 (NLT)

• His
  needs ¹¹ Not that I was ever in need, for I
  have learned how to be content with whatever I have.
  ¹² I
  know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have
  learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with
  a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. Philippians
  4:11-12 (NLT)

  “The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.—Charles Swindoll
  

“The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to
respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to
choose ones attitude in any given circumstance.”—Victor Frankl
