THANK YOU FOR THE MAN WITH THE STRANGE NAME...AND ..LYDIA.

This morning in America,i am about to teach on a city in and around what is now Greece. I am not a History professor,yet i know enough to give you experts on the area some idea of where i am talking about. Philippi the city.In Bible days was Macedonia!!! The apostle Paul went there with a group of other apostles to preach the Gospel.There were no synagogues there,so they went out by a river where they encounter a group of women. Paul began to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to these women. One of them for sure we know,was saved,and members of her household. They were then baptized.She invited them in to stay at her house. They did.Then the women(LYDIA)used her home to launch Christianity throughout Europe.The man with the strange name,(E-PA-PHRO-DITUS),God bless him in eternity forever.....i want to meet him someday in Heaven,and thank him for delivering this letter to Philippi from the apostle Paul.I cannot wait to see Lydia this GREAT women of God,who believed and help launch Christ message around the world.The New Testament book of Philippians is definitely a letter(or book)an EXULTATION,,,A JOY,AN EXHILARATION....TO THE SOUL OF EVERY CHRISTIAN,BORN AGAIN PERSON! The book of Philippians was written by the apostle Paul from prison in Rome after his visit and experiences in Philippi.This man with strange name had delivered offerings to Paul from this church.Then Epaphroditus returned to Phillipi with this letter from Paul. I encourage all people to read the 4 chapters of the book Philippians and let God bless you with his SHEKINAH GLORY.My prayer: Dear Heavenly Father....draw ALL mankind to you through your Holy Spirit.Amen!!!(so be it)
