Open the text first.
TEACHING SPINE
Three movements.
- Spiritual practices can become tools for self-justification.
- Paul treated his religious credentials as loss compared with knowing Christ.
- Prayer, giving, service, and discipline are beautiful when they flow from grace rather than trying to purchase worth.
KEEP THE BALANCE
What this teaching must not distort.
Do not attack spiritual disciplines themselves. Expose the heart motive that uses them to establish superiority or righteousness.
