Philippians 2:21 - "The Disease of Self-Interest"

Pastor Mike Impact Ministries

Today we will be looking at Philippians 2:21. But before wetalk about that, let's remind ourselves what the book of Philippians is about.The book of Philippians is about the joyful mind and the secure mind. TheApostle Paul is teaching us something very powerful. Before we can claim inchapter 4, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthensme," we first must practice what istaught in the earlier chapters. Inchapter 1, Paul teaches us to have a single mind—a mind that is set on Christ,a mind that is focused on the gospel of Jesus Christ, and a mind that desiresto glorify the Lord Jesus Christ before glorifying itself. Then chapter 2becomes very practical as Paul teaches us how to have a submissive mind—a mindthat is submitted to the will of God. In verse 20, the Apostle Paul commendedTimothy as a man who genuinely cared for the spiritual welfare of others. ThenPaul makes a very sad statement in verse 21: "For all seek their own,not the things which are Jesus Christ's." Thinkabout that statement for a moment: "For all seek their own, not thethings which are Jesus Christ's." Paul was living in Rome, the centerof the Roman Empire. There were many believers there. In Romans 16, when Paulwrote to the church at Rome, he mentioned dozens of Christians by name. Yetwhen he looked for someone to send to Philippi, he found only Timothy who wasavailable and willing to put Christ's interests first. Thisverse exposes one of the greatest spiritual diseases that affects believers andchurches. It is the disease of self-interest. The natural tendency ofevery human heart is to focus on self. The first words of many little childrenare often, "Mine!" or, "I want that! That's mine! Don't touchit!" We naturally ask: "What do I want?" "What do Ineed?" "What is best for me?" Yet the Christian life is exactlythe opposite. Thesubmissive mind that Paul has been describing throughout Philippians chapter 2causes us to ask: "What does Christ want?" "What will helpothers?" "What will advance the gospel?" The world teaches us tolook out for number one. Jesus teaches us to deny ourselves. In Luke 9:23,Jesus said: "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself,and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." That is not a popularmessage today because we live in a culture that promotes self-fulfillment,self-promotion, self-expression, and self-centeredness. But Christianity iscentered on Christ, not on self. Onemissionary who served for more than fifty years in Africa once lamented thelack of long-term commitment among believers. He quoted the words of Barzillaiin 2 Samuel 19:36: "Thy servant will go a little way." Thatseems to describe many Christians today. They are willing to serve a littleway. They are willing to sacrifice a little. They are willing to commit alittle. ButJesus, our example in Philippians 2, went all the way. He left heaven. Hehumbled Himself. He became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Myfriend, we cannot truly follow Jesus Christ while living for ourselves. Whena church becomes filled with self-centered people, ministries suffer. Peoplestop serving. Needs go unmet. The gospel loses momentum. But when believers putJesus Christ first, amazing things happen. People are saved. Lives are changed.Churches become healthy. Missionaries are sent. And the gospel advances. Sothe question today is simple: Am I seeking my own interests or Christ'sinterests? Am I willing to serve even when it costs me something? Am Iavailable when God calls? The greatest joy in the Christian life is found whenwe stop living for ourselves and begin living for Christ and for others. Let'spray. Father, forgive us for the selfishness that so easily creeps into ourlives and hearts. Help us to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness.Give us the mind of Christ and teach us to put Your interests above our own. Wepray this in Jesus' name. Amen.

NEW COUPLES' RETREAT!Hello Everyone.  I'm very excited to be offering a new week-long, couples' retreat, especially for men and women who know that they want the man to be in the lead/dominant position in their dynamic, and they want the woman to move deeper into her feminine submission.For the first time, I will be teaching on the topic of RELATIONAL DOMINANCE-SUBMISSION, compared to only sharing about EROTIC DOMINANCE-SUBMISSION (BDSM).This couples' retreat will be 50% RELATIONAL D/S, 50% EROTIC D/S (BDSM).These are charge-y topics.  There is a lot of misunderstanding and bad ideas around the notions of any hierarchical dynamic, particularly around the idea of a woman submitting to a man.  In this conversation I want to cover two foundation points that might help people clarify their thoughts and expectations around this matter — at least in the manner that I teach these topics.These are the two main cornerstones of how I conceive this exploration: SELF - INTEREST.GOOD LEADERSHIP / GOOD FOLLOWERSHIP.This video/podcast discusses these two cornerstones.One more important point worth touching on early, for all those who think they want to occupy the Dominant position.  These are my 3 basic criteria for what a good Dominant brings — into their Relationship and into the EROTIC field with their submissive: The Dom should deserve to lead their submissive.  Meaning, the Dom should have integrity, be self-contained, keep their word, be consistent, be reliable.  These are not soft prerequisites.The Dom must have the Mastery to Contain their submissive, as well as the Mastery to handle their submissive's Eros, Under the Dom's leadership, their submissive's life and eros should thrive more fully than it would without the Dom's leadership.COURSE PAGE : https://omrupani.org/dscoupleswww.OmRupani.org

How can a society move from celebrating Jesus as Messiah to accepting (or even demanding) His crucifixion—within days? Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks pick up the thread from the previous episode and go deeper into the forces that make moral collapse feel “normal”: self-interest, fear, groupthink, and the quiet pressure of power structures.Father frames a key clarification: it's not certain the Palm Sunday crowd and the “crucify him” crowd were the exact same people—Jerusalem was flooded with pilgrims for Passover. But even those who loved Jesus still faced a terrifying reality: Rome's violence was real, and even the apostles fled when things became dangerous. The conversation turns practical: if corruption can become invisible from the inside, how do we train ourselves to resist the crowd, keep Scripture speaking clearly, and stay close to people with integrity—so we don't breathe “putrid air” so long we stop noticing it?Key IdeasPalm Sunday's contrast (Hosanna → Passion) is real, even if the crowds weren't identical.Fear is a powerful silencer: when violence is credible, even loyal followers often retreat.Jesus didn't present as a worldly power figure (no army, no weapons), so the “little ones” recognized Him—but lacked power to defend Him.Groupthink pulls people downstream; self-interest (status, honor, money, security) keeps them there.Resistance becomes possible when we: (1) honor courageous witnesses, (2) let the Gospel keep challenging our rationalizations, and (3) surround ourselves with high-integrity people who keep the air “fresh.”Scripture Mentioned (no links)Palm Sunday readings (Triumphal Entry + Passion narrative)Matthew 7:3–5 (beam/splinter)References to the apostles fleeing during the Passion narrativeLinks & References (official/source only)Dr. Jordan B.

This week we report on the U.S. State Department's radical expansion of the Mexico City Policy, also known as the global gag rule, which blocks U.S. federal funding to international nongovernmental organizations that provide or inform about abortion. Beyond the traditional reproductive health restrictions, three sweeping new rules now tether all U.S. foreign assistance to strict prohibitions on “gender ideology” as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, initiatives. During the conversation we also dig into the key findings of a report published by the European Network on Debt and Development, or Eurodad, which warns that modernized aid rules are focusing on the political and commercial priorities of wealthy donors while leaving the world's poorest countries buried in debt. We also touch on the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank's updated accountability and grievance mechanism, and our exclusive story which reveals through a set of leaked emails that the Beijing-based lender is sidestepping on-the-ground meetings with Indigenous communities over alleged human rights abuses at a tourism development project in Indonesia.

Terry Real is a therapist and best-selling author expert on male emotional health and how men can build the skills for healthy relating to others: in relationships, work, friendships and to themselves.

We also discuss the essential role of having a close male community to build confidence and self-esteem. This conversation offers actionable guidance for boys, men and women seeking to build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Stefan Molyneux unpacks a compelling question from a subscriber about Ayn Rand's claim that epistemology is the highest branch of philosophy. He clarifies his argument that moral philosophy may actually take precedence, unpacking Rand's view that reason equals virtue and serves humanity's flourishing. He challenges this correlation by discussing how individual actions, driven by self-interest, can yield success at odds with societal well-being. He explores discomforting truths about ethics and morality, highlighting contradictions in Rand's arguments and how unethical behavior can sometimes lead to personal success. Stefan also examines Rand's perspectives on societal obligations and the implications for individualism, questioning the effectiveness of a purely reason-based morality in our complex realities. Throughout, Stefan reflects on historical contexts and Rand's life experiences, advocating for a nuanced understanding of morality that transcends traditional ethical frameworks.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! It's October 1st, and as we kick off a brand-new month, Hunter invites us to journey together through the Scriptures, one day at a time. In today's episode, we dive into Zechariah chapters 10 to 12, Psalm 126, and Luke 14, uncovering powerful themes of restoration, humility, and the transforming invitation of God. Hunter reminds us that everyone is invited to God's banquet—not because of our status or achievements, but because of His grace and our willingness to set aside self-interest and respond with humble gratitude. As we reflect on the passages, we're encouraged to let go of what owns us, embrace the new life Christ offers, and become instruments of peace and hope in the world. So grab your Bible and settle in, because this episode is about opening your heart, being shaped by Scripture, and remembering just how deeply you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There's a party going on, and it seems like everyone's invited eventually. But those first recipients of the invitation valued their own lives above the master's, so they had all kinds of excuses. "I've got to tend to this. I just purchased that. This just happened to me." There's no lack of excuses offered. In the end, these folks were left out of the party by their own choosing and doing. But then—the poor, the crippled, the lame and blind—those with no self-interest to speak of, respond to the invitation. They had no excuses. They only had gratitude. Right on the heels of this story, Luke tells us that there were crowds following Jesus. But Jesus tests these crowds. It seems that they too were there because of their own self-interests. Jesus had just finished telling the story of people who had gotten caught up in pursuing their own interests over God. Now He has a whole crowd upon Him. And He tells them that if their following Him is about self-promotion, then they've got Him all wrong. One has to hate oneself, He says, and one's own life. Like the poor, blind, crippled, lame beggar—these people in the story, they hate their lives. They came to the banquet grateful that they were being invited to a new kind of life, that they were being seated at a table and honored by the Master. This kind of humility is the only requirement to be a disciple and have a seat at the table of God. So Jesus turns around and tells this large crowd of people who are pursuing their own self-interests: You cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own—your selfish ambition, your own attempts to save yourself, your pasts, your addictions, your pride, your arrogance, your... You've got to give up everything you own and hate it. And when you do that, the power to give up everything that owns you will be yours. There's so much that owns us—our need to be recognized, our pride, arrogance, our past, our shame. These things can own us. But Jesus can set us free. He invites us to the table. He wants us to recognize that indeed, we are poor and blind and miserable and beggars. But we've been invited to the banquet. When we respond and come to his table, all that once owned us will be no more. We will be seated with him at his banquet. We will be made new. May we recognize who we are apart from him. There is an invitation to come though, to Him at his table, and experience who you are in Him. And that's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

BH Sales Kennel Kelp CTFO Changing The Future Outcome

Grandpa Bill Overviews my upcoming AUDIO show forthcoming a bit later today. The Maine Mentor Moments in Business and in Life. Today, I want to share a 'tidbit' that really shaped my journey, especially my decision to leave corporate America back in '95 and go solo. It's about a concept called 'Ethical Egoism,' and trust me, understanding it might just change how you view the business world, and even your own choices.So, what exactly is Ethical Egoism? Well, it's a philosophical idea that basically says: you should act in your own self-interest. Not just that people do act that way, but that it's the right thing to do. It's a theory that praises actions that put your own interests first, and it suggests you're morally obligated to avoid worrying about others if it doesn't benefit you directly. Think of it this way: if it helps you, it's good. It comes in a couple of flavors – individual, where I look out for my own interests, and universal, where everyone should look out for their own interests.Now, here's where it gets really interesting, and where it ties directly into the idea of 'expediency' – doing what's practical or convenient, even if it seems a bit questionable. For an ethical egoist, an action is morally right only if it benefits the person doing it. Take something simple like telling the truth. An ethical egoist wouldn't say truth-telling is inherently good. Instead, they'd say you should tell the truth because lying might come back to bite  you and negatively impact your happiness. So, principles, in this view, become secondary to personal advantage. They're useful tools that can be set aside if they get in the way of your own gain.This concept really resonated with me as I navigated the corporate landscape. I saw a growing trend where decisions, especially in the pursuit of profit, seemed to be driven less by universal ethical principles and more by what was immediately advantageous for individuals or the company, regardless of the broader impact. It felt like a lot of 'principles' were being sacrificed on the altar of 'expediency.' This wasn't just about bad apples; it felt like a systemic shift, a 'self-interest as the moral compass' approach becoming increasingly prevalent. And that, my friends, was a big part of why I decided to chart my own course and go solo. I wanted to operate with a different compass.But here's the kicker: Ethical Egoism isn't without its serious flaws. Critics point out that it offers no real way to resolve conflicts between people, because if everyone is only looking out for themselves, what happens when interests clash? It could even obligate you to stop others from doing what's 'right' if it doesn't serve  your interest. And perhaps the biggest criticism is that it's logically self-defeating if everyone adopted it. An ethical egoist wouldn't want everyone else to be an egoist, because it would work against their own best interest if others weren't acting altruistically towards them! It's a fascinating, albeit problematic, idea.   So, as you reflect on your own business and life journeys, consider this: Are the decisions you see, or even make, truly principled, or are they leaning towards expediency driven by self-interest? It's a question worth pondering, especially if you're looking to build something truly sustainable and meaningful.

Josh Dorfman, host of the popular Supercool podcast, reveals how this narrative is completely backwards. From Formula-E racing that attracts 500 million viewers without mentioning climate to pneumatic trash systems that make cities cleaner while cutting carbon by 90%, Josh shares how the most effective climate solutions are actually upgrading modern life rather than restricting it. Discover why we're not in an age of climate awareness anymore but rather an "age of adoption," where $2 trillion in annual clean energy investment is quietly revolutionizing everything from home electrification to urban design.
