A comparison of the Epistle to the Philippians with the letters that Paul had written before it might seem to indicate that the church at Philippi had no censurable weaknesses at all. Such a thought, of course, cannot be true because just as “”there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins”” (Eccl. 7: 20 ESV) so it is with churches, and even though the church at Philippi is not charged with any doctrinal deviation or moral blemish a little investigation will soon uncover its difficulties.

Now retired, Dr Hywel R.Jones pastored churches in Wrexham and London, before becoming Editorial Director of the Banner of Truth Trust and then Professor of Practical Theology at Westminster Seminary, California.
