7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. (Philippians 3)
There she goes again... the preacher's wife preaching to the preacher. My wife played this song yesterday for offertory, then gave a testimony about it at our church picnic. It presses the question Paul infers from the passage above. Have I surrendered all? Is everything else garbage in comparision to Christ? Does He have first place?
