The Name

Read: Philippians 2:9-11

9 For this reason also [because He obeyed and so completely humbled Himself], God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,10 so that at the name of Jesus [a]every knee shall bow [in submission], of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,11 and that every tongue will confess andopenly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord (sovereign God), to the glory of God the Father.

Stay Safe

Don’t fall for flattery! Use discretion and don’t open the door to flattery, run from it if you must.

Read: Ephesians 5:3-4

But sexual immorality and all [moral] impurity [indecent, offensive behavior] or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints [for as believers our way of life, whether in public or in private, reflects the validity of our faith]. 4 Let there be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse [obscene or vulgar] joking, because such things are not appropriate [for believers]; but instead speak of your thankfulness [to God].
