    The Colossians believers had become recipients of God’s marvelous act of reconciliation. They had been made acceptable to God and are challenged to continue striving forward in the truth that had saved them.

    COLOSSIANS 1: 20-23 RECONCILED THROUGH CHRIST Having proclaimed the deity and work of Christ, Paul now reveals what it means to the people in Colossae. He thus returns to the thought of redemption. With joyful wonder the Apostle testifies to the Colossians believers that they too have become ...read more

    Arrogance, the one vice that should be least present in the Christian life, is perhaps one of the most pervasive.

    Introduction Arrogance, the one vice that should be least present in the Christian life, is perhaps one of the most pervasive. The reason is simple enough. We possess truth. Possessing God’s Word, we have cornered the market on spiritual truth. It is not a big step to make to become ...read more

    Let us learn to examine ourselves in light of Jesus and not examine Jesus in the dim light of ourselves. It will cause discomfort, but how wondrous it is to serve a true King and to experience the mercy of a Lord that we truly fear.

    How do you decide when is the right time to tell the truth and when is the right time to keep silent?

    I sometimes wonder whether God has structured these ten commandments with the most obvious sins first and the least obvious or most subtle at the end. Or is it just that our age has become blind to the last couple of commandments? Truth is a difficult concept in this day and age isn’t it? ...read more

    We are curious people. People have a fascination about learning the “scoop” on other people. Live is approached like a virtual soap-opera.
