Insights on Philippians, Colossians, Philemon -- Charles R. Swindoll

<b>Philippians</b> is saturated with joy. While under house arrest in Rome, Paul wrote to encourage the Philippians to rejoice in the Lord, despite their circumstances--to find Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered joy in living, serving, sharing, and resting.<br/><br/><b>Colossians</b> is addressed to a church suffering from cultural capitulation and spiritual surrender--just like the church of the twenty-first century. Those who deceive others with self-centered philosophies, self-promoting legalism, and self-serving asceticism attract power and attention, while diminishing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Colossians serves as a lighthouse piercing the fog of false teaching and leading us to the safe harbor of Christ.<br/><br/><b>Philemon</b> illustrates the importance of second chances, the equality of believers in Christ, and the power of the gospel to transcend cultural and social boundaries, it reminds us of the Christ-centered concepts of freedom, forgiveness, mercy, and especially grace.<br/><br/>The 15 volume Swindoll's Living Insights New Testament Commentary series draws on Gold Medallion Award-winner Chuck Swindoll's 50 years of experience with studying and preaching God's Word.
