Colossians 4:2-6

“Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving.”

As we continue to commit ourselves to the work of Christ through the ministries of this church, it is good to ask ourselves what it means to conduct ourselves wisely toward others and to season our speech with salt. How can you do these things for the sake of Christ?

Colossians 3:12-17

“Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

When it comes to your finances, what would it look like to “do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus”? How would you spend your money? Who would be the recipients of your generosity? Often we think we will be generous when we hit the lottery (if we are crazy enough to buy a ticket) or when our ship comes in. If we wait to be generous it will never happen. As it has been said, if you are not generous in your little, you will not be generous in your much.

Colossians 3:17

"…do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus..."

One of the more difficult jobs of a pastor is making hospital visits. If I walk into the room by myself, all I have to offer is my sterling personality (which I think you will agree is limited at best). But if I spend time in prayer before making a visit, asking the Lord to go with me and make his presence flow through me, how much more do I have to offer!?

There have been times when a person has said to me, "John, remember when you visited me in the hospital and you said _____? Your words helped me make it through that horrible time." And, to tell you the truth, I don’t remember saying that at all. I know that was a moment God worked through me and maybe even in spite of me. That is what I believe Paul means when he writes, "…do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus…"

Colossians 3:12-17

“…clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.”

The best cure for bitterness is to remember Christ’s love for us. Because Jesus loves us, we are to love others. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth leaves a world full of blind toothless people. Read this news report Steve Isbell sent me:
