Join us as we explore God's ancient wisdom and apply it to our modern lives. His word is as current and relevant today as it was when he inspired its authors more than two and a half millennia ago. The websites where you can reach us are alittlewalkwithgod.com, richardagee.com, or saf.church.
I hope you will join us every week and be sure to let us know how you enjoy the podcast and let others know about it, too. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm
your host Richard Agee.
How much do you want to know Jesus? Enough to give up
everything to find Him?
Scripture
Philippians 3:7-11
But whatever I used to count as my greatest accomplishments,
I’ve written them off as a loss because of the Anointed One. And
more so, I now realize that all I gained and thought was
important was nothing but yesterday’s garbage compared to
knowing the Anointed Jesus my Lord. For Him I have thrown
everything aside—it’s nothing but a pile of waste—so that
I may gain Him. When it counts, I want to be found
belonging to Him, not clinging to my own righteousness based on
law, but actively relying on the faithfulness of the Anointed One.
This is true righteousness, supplied by God, acquired by
faith. I want to know Him inside and out. I want to
experience the power of His resurrection and join in His suffering,
shaped by His death, so that I may arrive safely at the
resurrection from the dead.
Devotional
Some people want to be anonymous, but I’m not sure there are
few who want absolutely nothing left behind. We all would like to
have someone remember at least something we have done. We don’t
want to go off into obscurity never leaving any mark at all on the
world.
Paul recognizes the best mark we can leave, though.
Whatever we accomplish write off as a loss.
All gain and all accomplishments are like garbage compared to
knowing Jesus
Throw everything aside to know Him
How much do you want to know Him?
Is He worth everything to you?
Are you willing to give up everything for Him?
It’s when we want to know Jesus the way Paul wanted to know Him
that we can experience Him the way Paul experienced Him.
Inside and out
Transformed in our thinking
Experiencing daily the resurrection power of that first Easter
morning
Problem with most of us
We hold to tightly to the things in this present age
World blinds us to what is important
That accomplishment we want others to remember
The money or material possessions we accumulate
The fame we get so our name is put into some history book
We want to become a legend rather than letting God use us as
His instrument to do whatever He wants
Get to know Him inside and out seeing everything else as
garbage in comparison
If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at
