St. Paul does not leave his instruction for Christian life as vague theologizing. Rather, he instructs Christians on how to follow the Word of Christ in their closest relationships with each other. As Christians are given to live together as wives and husbands, as children and parents, and as workers and masters, we do so in Christ, that is, with the perspective that Christ has given us through His justifying grace. Rev. Dr. Adam Koontz, pastor at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Oakmont, PA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Colossians 3:18-4:1.

Even when Paul was imprisoned for the sake of Christ, the Word of God remained unbound. The apostle’s letters from prison still fill us with the same joy that his chains could never silence.Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to:
