What if the greatest threat to our spiritual growth isn't that we won't get what we want, but that we actually will? This powerful message from Philippians 2 challenges us to examine the radical difference between worldly ambition and Christ-like humility. We're confronted with an uncomfortable truth: no one taught us to be selfish—we learned the word 'mine' all on our own. Yet Paul calls us to something entirely countercultural: to count others as more significant than ourselves.
