“It ain’t about baseball, its not about football, its not even about weightlifting… its not about you being the vice president of marketing. Its if God has for me hunger and lowliness, I can do it. If he has for me wealth and comfort, I can do it. If no one is encouraging me, by the power of Christ, I can do it. If everyone is encouraging me, by the power of Christ, I can do it. You see, context matters.”
- Matt Chandler on how Philippians 4:13 is often taken out of context.
The Woman and the Dragon (Revelations)
Chapter 12 | And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman e clothed with f the sun, with f the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was pregnant and g was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great h red dragon, i with seven heads and j ten horns, and on his heads k seven diadems. 4 His tail swept down l a third of the stars of heaven and m cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child n he might devour it.5 She gave birth to a male child, o one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was p caught up to God and to his throne, 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for q 1,260 days.
