Stand Fast in the Lord

"I beseech Euodias and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord (Phil. 4:2)

Beloved, if there is ever a time to hold fast, it is today. Stand fast with the same mind, the same thinking, the same faith, the same love and the same fellowship. Be the same!

Why is it today that people can repent and become a member of the church and all of a sudden they are dissatisfied and unhappy? What is wrong? What happened to the likemindedness? The same mind? Paul was telling them to be of the same mind in the Lord.

Oh, yes, those that depart from the faith will say they are not leaving the Lord. Aren't they?

Stand fast in the Lord and be of the same mind in the Lord. It is in the Lord, and once we become in the Lord, how can we depart from something if we are not in it? If men are departing from the faith and the truth, they have to be in it before they can depart from it.

So let's stay in it ... and in the same mind. Stand fast in the Lord.

The Lord means everything to me. Doesn't He to you? Without Him, we can do nothing. With Him, we can do everything. Without Him, we are lost. With Him we are saved. We can't really emphasize enough the importance of that truth. Let's not waver. Let's be steadfast and unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord for we know that our labor is not in vain in the Lord. (I Cor. 15:58).
