Chaplains
Federation of Fire Chaplains
I'm two days into a four day Federation of Fire Chaplains International
Conference, being held at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Seattle.
Last night we held a memorial service at St. James Catholic Cathedral,
honoring the fallen fire fighters and chaplains who lost their lives in
Line of Duty Deaths during this past year. Please forgive me for not
writing an inspirational message, but my energy level is low, and I'm
heading down from my hotel room for another day of seminars.
With love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon

The Scripture Readings for the Day
15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill: 16 The former[a] preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
44 “Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.” 45 But
they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so
that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about
this saying.
50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side.”
Philippians 1:12-20
Christ Is Preached
12 But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, 13 so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; 14 and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill: 16 The former[a] preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
To Live Is Christ
19 For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.Luke 9:44-50
Who Is the Greatest?
46 Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest. 47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a little child and set him by Him, 48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great.”Jesus Forbids Sectarianism
49 Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side.”
