    Buried Talents? Doing Nothing?

     | 236 views

    This will be an unpopular sermon? This is a much needed sermon. It is said 20% of people do 80% of the work. The harvest is plentious. The laborers are few. Could idleness be a sin? Zero times a 1,000 is zero. Let us be busy about our Father's business.

    Before we move into the text itself, I want us to slow down and picture where this letter is going. Colossae was not Rome. It was not Jerusalem. It was not Corinth or Ephesus. Colossae was ordinary. It was a small town in the Lycus Valley. It used to matter more than it did by the time Paul ...read more

A healthy diet should contain at least 4-6 serving of fruits to build up our anti-oxidant levels that fight against the free radicals ...read more
