Scripture… As We Live It #52

Posted by on May 3, 2009 in as we live it, scripture | 2 comments

This is the 52nd passage in “Scripture… As We Live It“:

Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker and Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house concerning a personal issue between us and you alone… there’s no reason to involve the whole church in this. (Philemon 1:1-2 re-mix)

    But it makes for a better story if it is out in the open. Hopefully, others learn in the spirit in which it was disclosed.

    Paul understood well the potential for gossip! So he kept it personal.
