Philippians 3:7-11
John is a son, husband, father, grandfather and a United Methodist pastor. He strives to primarily build upon his God-given strengths while he uses them to work on one of his weaknesses. For him this is a mixture of both the power and the mercy of God.

Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
