Phil 2:12-16

Today's reading is...

12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

14 Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16 as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.

A couple of questions that stick out to me..

1. How do we work out our salvation with fear and trembling?

2. How unique of a community was Phillipi that they were challenged to do everything with complaining or arguing?
