Written from his Roman prison cell, the aged Apostle Paul penned his most joyful epistle to the Philippians. After decades of ministry marked with much sufferings for Christ, he had learned the secret to a fruitful and enduring faith:

Forget the hurts of the Past... Reach for the blessings of the Present...Press toward the prize of the Future... the rapture-resurrection! Many Christians live in depression and regret over their unhappy pasts. Only when you let go of the past, can you embrace the present and reach for daily victory in Christ. As citizens of Heaven we keep our eyes on the goal line for the prize of the calling up on high!
