3. How do we weed out the pretenders and the counterfeits?

4. If we want to know whether something is authorized, commended or approved by God we should look for an event. Something that happened in space and time that shows that God approves.

A. “I’ve got a secret”

1. There is something fascinating about those words

a. Ears perk up, and people lean in as they whisper, “What is it? I won’t tell anyone”

b. Religiously speaking, there are many who claim to have the “secrets” to spiritual life – but they are frauds

2. In sharp contrast to these frauds, notice Philippians 4:12

a. Here Paul speaks of a genuine and important “secret”

b. One has called this “the only secret that we need”

B. We are nearing the end of Paul’s letter to the Philippians
