This Spring 2013 conferene held in Arkansas is the first of a trilogy dealing with the role and purpose of the Church, the Rapture—our blessed hope, and staking the enigma out of Paul’s “mystery.”

We study the Word so that we can be changed -- transformed into the image of Christ. Paul wants the Philippians to know that the Hand of God's Providence was working toward the benefit of the Gospel and them (Phi 1:12-13, Phi 1:24-25). Philippians were using their material blessings for others (Phi 4:10-13, Phi 4:19). "I have learned" (Phi 4:11). Paul was a disciple (2Ti 2:15); it takes a disciple to make a disciple (Joh 13:7, Jam 1:21). Christ is both the master of the school and its topic. "I know how" developed through practice. "Wisdom is justified [verified] in her children" (Mat 11:19, Luk 7:35). "I can do". We have reasons to endure the little inconveniences to prepare for the big ones (Joh 14:17-18, Heb 13:5-6).
