Jesus said the road to destruction was wide and many were travelling that road believing that they were on the road to heaven. Paul with a heavy heart is pleading with those in his most beloved Church of Philippi that their were those in this great Church who were totally out of the will of God. He called them enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, their God was their belly, and whose glory was their shame and they were mindful of earthy things or materialistic. Sounds pretty much like todays carnal church. |
