We use this expression to mean we support somebody. Paul used it literally.

Some thoughts on Col 2:5

The fruit of the Spirit is LOVE!

Paul worked his tail off for folk he never even met face to face. Why? And how was he gripped with such intensity and purpose?

Am I? Am I working to succeed in the actual fight I'm in, or am I caught up in loser thinking, wasting valuable time and prioritizing my ease and comfort at the expense of my purpose?

Just something to think about...

There is a dynamic of shame, regret, condemnation, and mental anguish that is a direct result of satan's activities in the hearts and minds of people everywhere. The short word to describe this ministry is "accusation."

What do we do? Where do we turn? What are our resources for help?

Col 1:28-29

Assorted thoughts  and stories on the subject of tongues in the New Testament and today...

"HIM we proclaim..." (Colossians 1:28)

The good news about Jesus is both beautiful and a secret and plot twist of divine history. What we have available right now in Christ, the saints of old LONGED to see, and the angels have been peering from heaven with surprise and wonder like, "Are you serious, right now???"

"Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God." (Matthew 22:29)

Many of us have given up on the church...but Jesus hasn't.
