Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. Colossians 4:6 Sometimes we can look at a verse and think that it doesn’t really gel together, (or maybe that’s just me). I wondered how sprinkling my conversation with salt and grace would help… Continue reading A Good Seasoning

Faithful Watchful Thankful
Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. Colossians 4:2 This may be a short verse, but there is a lot packed into it, with three specific instructions: Be attentive, be alert, be appreciative.

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.

As a Christian, the things we focus on are (or should be) different to those of… Continue reading Keep Looking Up

Holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

The mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.

Stories that can take you on a journey as you try to unravel the secrets that are… Continue reading Unravelling the Mystery

As the Christian observes the bitter-sweet scene of cross… Continue reading Completely Forgiven
