I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. (Philemon 1:4-5 NIV)
I still like to think of myself as a young man, so the focus by Dennis Fisher on Paul's reference to himself as old doesn't jump out at me. This encouraging word from Paul to Philemon and his church is something I would like to be true of me. I would hope that I would be remembered by all my former pastors and teachers would remember me in such a light. But I do hope the thanks and praise goes heavenward.
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16 NIV)
