What is Philippians 4:13 Really Saying?
· Putting Contentment Back Into Context ·
Philippians 4:13 is one of the most popular verses in the Bible but also one of the most misused and misinterpreted. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” it’s everywhere; shirts, mugs, decals, journals- you name it.
