How do we leave behind what matters most?

~ Godly WISDOM... vv 1-18
- Philippians 4:1
- those who we leave behind is what matters
- they are our joy & crown
- 6 illustrations given for right to compensation
- but Paul forgoes demanding compensation if it would hinder the Gospel

~ Godly WITNESS... vv 19-27
- run as such to get the prize
- give it your best effort, don't give your second best
- Paul became all things to all men so as to bring the Gospel to them.
- live life according to the purpose of God in your life.
- keep your witness in check such as not to be disqualified.

~ Godly WORDS... v 27
- Proverbs 12:25
- words matter
- words rightly spoken, wisdom of those before us our lives are changed for eternity.

Will produce the JOY and CROWN of our lives.
These are the trophies in what matters most.
