There will always be storms that threaten our faith, storms we bring on ourselves or just never see coming. Being rooted in Christ is what gives us the strength to make it through those storms, but Paul is writing to the Colossians about something that threatens to wekaen them and uproot their faith. In listening to this threat to their faith, we are reminded of how rules and rituals and religion don't keep us strong or make us close to God but are ultimately being reliant upon ourselves which uproots our foundation in Christ. How do we remain rooted in Christ so that the coming storms don't wreck our faith?
