I love how the Apostle Paul uses a big Christological gun to slay pride in Philippians 2. Doctrine is often falsely perceived as boring, esoteric and impractical. This is hardly the reality in Scripture as a whole and case in point in Philippians 2:1-11. This is now the third week that the Apostle Paul has been hammering away at our profound need for humility. Disunity has been eating away at the internal DNA and mission of the 10-year old church in the Roman outpost at Philippi. Principally, disunity in the local church at Philippi, (or any church for that matter) is conquered through gospel humility.
