Why the Title?
You might be asking yourself, what's up the title? OK, I am being hopeful, since nobody is probably asking this, since nobody is probably reading this blog. But I will indulge the fantasy nonetheless. I didn't give the title too much thought to be honest. But now that I reflect on it, it fits. Of course there is the obvious reference to Phil 2:12. There is also the sense of working as a struggle. And living in this day and age it is a struggle to live your faith. Every day we are bombarded with images, words, and ideas that are antithetical to the Christian worldview. So we must work. I must work for a paycheck to feed my family. I must work out or I will get too fat. And those who follow Christ must work for His kingdom here on earth where we fight against evil principalities and powers. But even though we know that in Christ we have the victory, we must still run and labor so that it will not be in vain.
