Phil has been the minister at Turramurra Uniting Church for the past 5 years. Phil has spent his formative teenage years in rural NSW, growing up in a small country town (Coolamon). He is married with 3 young adult kids (who all still live at home) and spends his time being with people (which he loves) and being on his computer (which he also loves).
In Romans we read there are 2 ways to live – follow our natural desires which may not be pleasing to God, or set our minds on what the Holy Spirit desires and live in a way that pleases God.
It is a life choice!
Following Jesus is not an easy choice. It may require us to make Jesus our ‘Top Priority’ and be willing to give up anything for God.
However it may not be an ‘either’ /’or’ choice but finding a balance in our commitment and making Jesus the foundation of all we are trying to do so we can say “Amen”.
What do you think? Was it right for Jesus to test Philip by asking him to feed 5000 people?
What is more important – the journey or the destination?
