Hey, I'm back! We'll retread some old ground and maybe see something new. There is a flow and purpose to this letter that is not always easy to see, and the letter's priorities become ours. Our spirituality is evanglical and catholic, so we let's listen to God and soak it in together!

NOTE: My normal music is gone from this episode, so you can skip the 30 seconds of silence. Or don't, I guess. It's up to you.

God invites us to praise Him in faith, trust, hope, and love. And as we join in, we also invite others. So let's learn how to praise God and meditate on how much thanks He deserves.

 

Together, you and me.

Wow, that's a long title. But I really enjoyed the topic. When we talk about spirituality, we have to start somewhere, right?

Conversations make a difference. Here's an imaginary one I hope to have someday. If you know someone who needs to listen to it, share it. And then, listen to some of the other stuff going on here, because new projects keep rolling out.

Here we are, at the end of the Paul's Letter, and it's personal. The shared spirituality becomes clearly personal, and we can't help but find our home in it- in Christ, in the Word, together.

The Almighty God has wrath against our sins, but having Him against us is like having the very ground under our feet be against us, the air being fire in our lungs, and our shelter melting around us. We pray for mercy from an unchanging eternal God, and He teaches us to pray.

Together, you and me.

This is a shorter one, because this section is shorter. Bite sized, but dripping with constructive Words from God, and I had a lot of fun with it. I hope this has been helpful for you, as much as it has been helpful for me. We're almost to the end of Colossians! Let's finish strong, with contemplation and prayer to Our Heavenly Father, who has given us this Book!

Take a break. Get your soul in order with God. He has something to say about you, and its only right that we get to speak with Him as well. So, let's learn to talk about the shame that we feel toward God, and let hope be inspired in us by a steady love in the face of God.

Together, you and me.

...wherein I play the banjo and play around with the hallmark ideas of "evangelical" and "catholic", and how they are my favorite parts of Christian spirituality. Join for a bit, if you like. I'm not great at banjo, but Baptism sure is great.

Let's pray with the joy and peace and anticipation that the Lord gives! We're going to the Lord's house, and we pray for the peace of everywhere the Lord's peace and order reign.

Together, you and me.
