because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.
Philippians 1:5
Paul, the greatest missionary the world has ever known, himself knew the value of partnership. The Philippian Christians were an incredible blessing to him and his ministry. I imagine that many prayers were offered on behalf of Paul and that words of encouragement from Phillipi touched his heart. And we know that this church offered financial gifts to aid him in his ministry.
May God protect us from an "island" mentality - believing that we stand alone and can do all things without the help of others. May God build into us an appreciation for the body of Christ and all its gifts - working as one towards a common goal.
