When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. Jonah 2:7 Jonah was given an assignment from God, but instead of following God’s will, he tried to outrun it. The problem with Jonah running from God was that instead of bringing blessing to those… Continue reading Continual Salvation

Restoration
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things! Fear not, you beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness are green; the tree bears its fruit; the fig tree and vine give their full yield. Joel 2:21-22 God’s punishment for sin was a very real experience… Continue reading Restoration
A Good Seasoning
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. Prayer is important to our Christian walk and yet we often neglect it, and in neglecting prayer, we are… Continue reading Faithful Watchful Thankful

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

Choices of the Chosen
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Colossians 3:12 In the first part of Colossians 3 we have the ‘put-off’ and ‘put-on’ verses. Our lives as Christians are to be completely different from how they were before we accepted the salvation of God. Everything about… Continue reading Choices of the Chosen
Out With The Old
Put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Colossians 3:10 New things are something that most of us enjoy getting, wearing or using. Something as simple as putting on a new item of clothing can actually give you a little boost because it makes you feel… Continue reading Out With The Old
Keep Looking Up
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2 When your mind is on something in particular, your focus is continually driven in that direction until a satisfactory conclusion is achieved. As a Christian, the things we focus on are (or should be) different to those of… Continue reading Keep Looking Up
Collective Individuals
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. Colossians 2:19 The decision to trust Jesus and hand your life over to the will of God, is most certainly a solo act. There is no such thing… Continue reading Collective Individuals
