Paul not only talks about hope, but he demonstrates it too. The chapter is full of hope for himself, what God’s going to do, and for the church in Philippi.

Amos is an uncomfortable read. But we need to be discomforted from time to time. Religion can be dangerous when it makes you think that you’re always right.
