I'm still trying to catch up on my journey posts. Here are some takeaways from my recent read through Colossians.
- Colossians makes it convincingly clear that Jesus is in a completely different camp from Moses, Socrates, Buddha, Mohammed, etc.
- Every believer, just like Paul, is on a special assignment from God.
- Our churches are filled with people, just like Epaphras, not welll-known, but reliable servants of Christ.
- Great question to ponder: Is God proud of me for my work for the kingdom?
- Do you have any doubts that Jesus is God? Meditate on 1:15-20.
- Jesus actually died for me.
- A great way to measure the value of any sermon: does it preach Christ?
- I wonder how many accept Jesus as Savior and then don't live for Him?
- Eugene Peterson strikes agains in 2:7--"School's out; quit studying the subject and start living it."
- Praise God that my sins are forgiven, the slate wiped clean--all because of the cross.
- We need to wear the wardrobe God has picked out: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline.
- Chapin Baptist is my employer; but the ultimate Master I serve is Jesus Christ.
- How do I want people to pray for me? That God will open many doors for proclaiming Christ to lost people.
