I have been listening to Pastor Benny Ho's 8-CD sermon series on the book of Philippians entitled "Joy in the Midst of Trials".
In disc 1, he highlighted a catch-phrase, "WHAT DOES IT MATTER", which I blogged about yesterday.
In disc 2, he highlighted another catch-phrase, "WHATEVER HAPPENS" which is based on Phil 1:27, "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ".
Pastor Ho reminds us that no matter what happens, we should conduct ourselves in an appropriate manner, so that Christ is magnified and glorified.
For for those of us who have not been to Portugal, we probably have formed an impression of the country from the way Jose Mourinho (Chelsea manager) and Christiano Ronaldo (Man U winger) behave.
Many of us Singaporeans are super kiasu when overseas on holiday, stacking up our plates at the buffet table, or rushing for the best seats in the cruise boat. Without realising it, we are painting a bad picture of Singapore to the host nations.
Likewise, we are the LORD's ambassadors where we are placed, be it in an office, or a camp, or a school. The way we conduct ourselves reflects to those around us what the kingdom values ought to me. Hopefully, we are drawing others to Christ, and not turning them away from Him.
No matter what happens, let us conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel. Amen?
