The hope of Paul for a righteous and holy Philippian community is described very beautifully here.

We live in the end times. However, the Church understands that the end times began with the death of Jesus. As disciples, it’s not about the signs or when the end of the world will occur. We need to be ready now. This is the only way we will have prepared properly for the return […]
