Colossians 2:16Leviticus 20:26Colossians 2:16

“Why are you relying on yourself, only to find yourself unreliable?”

Galatians 3:3

“One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting every one else to give it up. That is not the Christian way. An individual Christian may see fit to give up all sorts of things for special reasons – marriage, or meat, or beer, or the cinema; but the moment he starts saying the things are bad in themselves, or looking down his nose at other people who do use them, he has taken the wrong turning.”

Colossians 2:8Colossians 2:17John 1:141 Corinthians 6:19

“Christianity was not fashioned to resemble Judaism, but Judaism was fashioned to resemble Christianity.”

Hebrews 10:1Matthew 15:10-11Matthew 15:18Colossians 2:17

For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!”

Colossians 1:28-29

“Here I must take counsel of the gospel. I must hearken to the gospel, which teaches me, not what I ought to do, (for that is the proper office of the law), but what Jesus Christ the Son of God has done for me: that He suffered and died to deliver me from sin and death. The gospel willed me to receive this, and to believe it. And this is the truth of the gospel. It is also the principal article of all Christian doctrine, wherein the knowledge of all godliness consists. Most necessary it is, therefore, that we should know this article well, teach it unto others, and beat it into their heads continually.”

Colossians 2:6-7Colossians 2:6-7 NASBColossians 2:6

“Christ is either Lord of all, or is not Lord at all”

“No man can be said to be truly converted to Christ who has not bent his will to Christ. He may give intellectual assent to the claims of Christ and may have had emotional religious experiences; however, he is not truly converted until he has surrendered his will to Christ as Lord, Savior and Master.”

There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?”

Colossians 1:24Acts 9:16Colossians 1:24

“Suffering exists, primarily, to make Christians like their Christ.”

“When you suffer and lose, that does not mean you are being disobedient to God. In fact, it might mean you’re right in the center of His will. The path of obedience is often marked by times of suffering and loss.”

Colossians 1:241 Peter 3:13-17

“Why do the righteous suffer?” “Why not?” he replied. “They’re the only ones who can take it.”

Romans 5:3-5

“I haven’t come as far as I’d like, in understanding the things that have happened this year. But here’s one thing I do know: when it comes to pain, God isn’t often in the business of taking it away. Instead, he adds to it. He is more of a giver than a taker. He doesn’t take away my darkness, he adds light. He doesn’t spare me of thirst, he brings water. He doesn’t cure my loneliness, he comes near. So why do we believe that when we are in pain, it must mean God is far?”

Colossians 1:25-27

Colossians 1:28Colossians 1:291 Corinthians 15:10

“God is in control, but don’t lean on a shovel and pray for a hole.”

“I love inside jokes. I’d love to be a part of one someday.”

Colossians 1:21Ephesians 2:1-2John 3:3Colossians 1:22

“You can exercise and sustain personal leadership only to the extent of your capacity to bear pain. If you can bear only your own pain, then you can’t really lead. If you can respond and bear only the pain of your family, then your family represents the full scope of your leadership potential. If, however, by God’s grace you can recognize and bear the pain of those around you, then the scope of your leadership potential is limited only by the scope of your burden and capacity. All this talk about bearing may seem off-putting to some. You may be thinking, isn’t leadership more about vision and the ability to inspire than about pain? Not really. To be sure, there is a kind of leadership that can rouse people to action for a short time, but enduring leadership invariably will be built upon the confidence that those whom you call ‘leader’ would sacrifice themselves not only for the cause they share with you, but even for you yourself.”

Revelation 2:4b

“The person who lives a just and holy life is one who is a sound judge of these things. He is also a person who has ordered his love, so that he does not love what it is wrong to love, or fail to love what should be loved, or love too much what should be loved less (or love too little what should be loved more), or love two things equally if one of them should be loved either less or more than the other, or love things either more or less if they should be loved equally.”

Colossians 1:15John 14:9-10Colossians 1:15-17

“The universe owes its continuing coherence to Christ…. What holds the universe together is not an idea or a virtue, but a person: the resurrected Christ. Without him, electrons would not continue to circle nuclei, gravity would cease to work, the planets would not stay in their orbits.”

Colossians 1:18

“The New Testament writers speak as if Christ’s achievement in rising from the dead was the first event of its kind in the whole history of the universe. He is the ‘first fruits’, the ‘pioneer of life’. He has forced open a door that has been locked since the death of the first man. He has met, fought, and beaten the King of Death. Everything is different because He has done so. This is the beginning of the New Creation: a new chapter in cosmic history has been opened.”

“The biblical fact is that there are no (perfect) churches. There are, instead, communities of sinners, gathered before God week after week in towns and villages all over the world. The Holy Spirit gathers them and does his work in them. In these communities of sinners, one of the sinners is called pastor and given a designated responsibility in the community. The pastor’s responsibility is to keep the community attentive to God.”

Matthew 16:18Colossians 1:18

“The main temptation is not to reject God outright, but to embrace God as something secondary and use God as an instrument for our own ends.”

“A firm grounding in Christology, then, in its practical implications for the daily life of believers was the best defense against the illusory attractiveness of the Colossians heresy.”

Colossians 1:1Galatians 1:1Colossians 1:1Ephesians 1:111 Thessalonians 4:3Colossians 1:2

“In the gospel, God declares us presentable before he ever even looks at our record.”

1 Timothy 2:5Colossians 1:2

“To speak of Paul’s sense of “geography” is an attempt to describe the “place” where he thought Christians live. In Paul’s mind, just as these Christians live literally in the region near [Colossae], they also live in Christ. The terrain, climate, values, and history in which people grow up and live helps to define who they are. As really as this region near [Colossae] defines who they are, Christ defines who believers really are. He is the “sphere of influence” or “power field” in which they live and from which they benefit and are transformed. That is, his Spirit, values, character, history, and purposes shape their lives. People can live in other spheres, but Christians live in Christ. Jesus Christ must never be depersonalized by such language, but we will not understand Paul unless we learn to think of life as lived in Christ.”

“They moved about Colossae “in Christ.” They worked, served, kept the house, followed the business, met the neighbors, entered into their sorrows and joys,… suffered their abuse and insults when such things came—all “in Christ.” They carried about with them a private atmosphere, which was not of Asia but of heaven. To them Christ was the inner home, the dear invisible but real resting place…. And what a rich gain for poor Colossae, that they, being in Him, were in it.”

Colossians 1:2Ephesians 2:13-16
