Hi everyone! We have come to the end of another chapter in the book of Philippians. I hope it has been a good time of learning from the life and ministry of Paul the apostle. Philippians 3 is a significant chapter with regards to how he saw his past, his commitment to forgo all things that he may gain Christ and to press on to the goal of the prize of the upward call of God.
