Overview

Philippians has to do with our state rather than our standing, with responsibility rather than privilege, with communion rather than union. In other words, this epistle is suited to our wilderness journey, written to guide our feet while going through the world. Paul’s letter to the Philippians is rooted in his pastoral concern and his desire to orient this concern around the person of Jesus. Ironside’s chapter-by-chapter commentary makes Paul’s theological motivations and pastoral concerns patently clear.

About Harry Allen Ironside

Harry Allen Ironside, one of the twentieth century’s greatest preachers, was born in Toronto, Canada on October 14, 1876. Though his education stopped with grammar school, his fondness for reading and a retentive memory put his learning to use. His scholarship was recognized in academic circles when he received honorary degrees from Wheaton College and Bob Jones University and was invited as frequent lecturer at Dallas Theological Seminary. Dr. Ironside was appointed to the boards of numerous Bible institutes, seminaries, and Christian organizations. He also served as director of the Africa Inland Mission. Ironside preached widely throughout the United States and abroad. He served as pastor of Moody Memorial Church from 1930 to 1948, and during his lifetime, he preached more than 7,000 sermons to over 1.25 million listeners.

“And the spiritual mind is the mind of Christ. It is as we walk in the Spirit that we are delivered from the desires of the flesh. But even after years of godly living, the flesh itself is not one whit better than it was at the very beginning of our Christian life. Therefore, we dare not trust it, knowing that, however blessed the work of God is in our souls, ‘in our flesh dwells no good thing.’” (Page 74)

“Nor should Christians forget that it is just as possible for believers now to be occupied with ordinances and church position, while forgetting the more important things of true piety and’ self-judgment.” (Page 72)

“Second: ‘We worship by the Spirit of God.’ The worship of the old dispensation was largely of a ritualistic character, but the Lord Jesus told the Samaritan woman, ‘The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth.” (Page 73)

“Death is no enemy to the one to whom Christ is all. To live gives opportunity to manifest Christ down here; to die is to be with Christ, than which nothing could be more precious.” (Page 29)

“First: ‘We are the circumcision,’ that is, we are those who have accepted by faith the end of all flesh in the cross of Christ.” (Page 73)
