Message 1, 2023 Memorial Day Conference in Chicago, IL. Each stanza is an aspect of Paul taking Christ as everything in Philippians.

✨✨✨

(LIVING – 1:21)
For to me, to live is Christ
And to die is gain.
Praise You Lord, I’m free from the law—
In Your life I’d remain!

CHORUS
Thank You for the pattern of Your faithful brother Paul
Make me one who takes Christ as my all.

(EXPRESSION – 1:20)
Whether through life or through death
Christ I’ll magnify!
Make me bold, I’ll not be ashamed
My soul You’ll Christify!

(MIND – 2:5)
Lord I want Your mind in me
Thinking the one thing!
Lord I want to be one in soul
To Your heart, I would cling!

(RIGHTEOUSNESS – 3:9)
And be found in You alone,
You’re my righteousness!
Not that which is out of the law
But by Your faithfulness.

(PREEMINENCE – 3:8)
Jesus Lord, You’re excellent,
All things are but loss.
Good or bad—it’s food for the dogs
I’ve left them on the cross.

(GOAL – 3:12-14)
Lord I’m not yet at the goal
But I see the prize!
I forget, I stretch and pursue,
I’ve left all earthly ties.

(VIRTUES – 4:8)
Righteous, dignified, and pure,
Lovely, well, and true.
May I take account of these things
My praise and my virtue.

(POWER – 4:13)
I can do all things in Him
He empowers me!
Living out Christ in everything
By His sufficiency.

(SECRET – 4:11-12)
Hallelujah, I have learned 
In all of my need—
To apply this secret of mine
Yes, in all things indeed.

(EXPECTATION – 3:20-21)
Hope of glory, quickly come—
‘Come Lord’ this I pray.
Eagerly I’m waiting for You
The price, Oh Lord, I’ll pay.

Thank You for the pattern of Your faithful brother Paul
Make me one who takes Christ as my all.
Keep me open to Your daily call.

In the summer semiannual of 2016, Ron Kangas read this hymn in one of the messages. The original words of the hymn would usually say "teach me thy ways, oh Lord," but Ron Kangas changed the words to "show me thy ways, oh Lord." This phrasing matches Exodus 33:13 -- "Now therefore if I have found favor in Your sight, please let me know now Your ways, that I may know You, so that I may continue to find favor in Your sight."
We used Mark and Hollie's tune, and changed the words to match brother Ron's wonderful tweaks to this classic hymn.

Featuring fountain on guitar.
Avec fountain sur la guitare.

L'unité n'est pas l'union,
Ni l'accord passé,
Mais la vie cachée,
La vie de Dieu !
La Trinité nous a inclus
Dans Sa divine
Unité, unité.

Afin que tous soient un,
Tout comme Toi, Père, es en Moi
Et Moi en Toi,
Afin qu'ils soient
Aussi en Nous
Unité, unité.

(Oneness is not unity,
Outward agreement
But a life within,
God's very life !
The Triune God included us
In His divine
Oneness, oneness.

That they all may be one;
Even as You, Father, are in Me
And I in You,
That they may be
May be in Us
Oneness, oneness)

Hymns/Scripture Songs

Feed me Lord Jesus

1. Just taste and see that the Lord is good;
Just taste and see that the Lord is good.
He’s good for You, as He is for me;
So whatever you do, just taste and see.

2. Just call O Lord—He’ll change your life;
Just call O Lord He’ll change your life.
Amazing grace He will afford;
If in every place You call O Lord.

3. You’ll feel real love coming into your heart;
You’ll feel real love coming into your heart.
You’ll sense a flow from God above;
And You will know you’ve found real love.

4. So praise the Lord for His life in you;
Yes, praise the Lord for His life in you.
Something of Christ He has outpoured
Into your life; so praise the Lord!

Just Taste And See!

In these times of restlessness,
In these times of uncertainty,
When all we trusted has become
But sand and we sink helplessly,
Reaching out, a Rock we hold.
He is still and unshakable.
Eternally and silently,
He waited for us with love untold.

How we think we have control
When all things go predictably,
But when waves crash, when storm winds blast,
We see our human frailty.
Then He’s always there to say,
“It is I, do not be afraid.”
It’s up to us to take Him in
Our boats, our lives, for Him ere to stay.
 	
So that’s why we call, “O Lord Jesus!”
Desper’tely for peace inside
And peace He gives,
A peace beyond understanding.
And still then we call, “O Lord Jesus!”
Just to find the peace supplied
Is Christ Himself resting in our being.

In These Times of Restlessness

Touching Jesus is all that really matters!
