15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitudeContinue reading “24Sep2010 Colossians 3:15-16”

23Sep2010 Colossians 3:11
11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. There are no racial, ethnic, religious, economic, or class distinctions in the Body of believers. I like churches that look like Baskin Robins, 31 flavors all in one place. But thereContinue reading “23Sep2010 Colossians 3:11”
22Sep2010 Colossians 3:2-3
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. You might have heard the phrase, “He is so heavenly minded he is no earthly good.” But I think the opposite is true much more often, that we are soContinue reading “22Sep2010 Colossians 3:2-3”
21Sep2010 Colossians 2:20
20 Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: Dead men don’t have to obey the speed limit! They don’t get cited for criminal misconduct. They never get in bar fights. They don’t commit adultery. They neverContinue reading “21Sep2010 Colossians 2:20”
20Sep2010 Colossians 2:17
17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. I am amazed again and again at the lengths people will go to grasp shadows rather than the reality! The verse right before this one spells out some legalistic proscriptions that the false teachers in theContinue reading “20Sep2010 Colossians 2:17”
19Sep2010 Joshua 9:23
23 You are now under a curse: You will never cease to serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God. Joshua had every reason not to honor his word. The Gibeonites had deceived them in order to gain their lives. The contract was null and void because of this deception. JoshuaContinue reading “19Sep2010 Joshua 9:23”
18Sep2010 1 Thess 5:14
14 And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. The actions mentioned here in this verse go against our cultural norms. They are counter to what we see portrayed in the movies and in our daily lives. We don’t warn the idle, weContinue reading “18Sep2010 1 Thess 5:14”
17Sep2010 1 Thess 5:4
4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. There is a teaching out there about the Lord’s Second Coming that says we as believers will be taken by surprise. That is utterly false! We know His coming is going to happen, so how can itContinue reading “17Sep2010 1 Thess 5:4”
16Sep2010 Joshua 9:14
14 The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the LORD. In order to save their own lives, the Gibeonites came up with an elaborate deception plan. As Israel was entering the Promised Land after spending forty years wandering around in the desert, they were told to totally destroy the inhabitantsContinue reading “16Sep2010 Joshua 9:14”
15Sep2010 1 Thess 4:13
13 Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. What happens after death? This is a question that has been around since man first exited the Garden. This passage deals with an important aspect of life afterContinue reading “15Sep2010 1 Thess 4:13”
