Philippians is one of my favorite books of the Bible. Along with the Psalms, James, the gospels...Well, I may have a few favorites. But why write the Word? Why do we write things down? We write things down that we want to remember. Why wouldn’t we want to write down the most important Words there are? His Word is life to us — write it down!
