Colossians 2

Paul wrote so many good lines in Colossians 2. I’m struggling with which ones to call attention to and dive into. I can’t possibly cover it all. And I’m sure Paul felt the same way when writing these letters. He had written roughly 2,000 words, and he was trying to explain the mystery of theContinue reading “Colossians 2”

1 John (part 8)

As John brings his letter to a close, he says, “My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God’s Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion.” He doesn’t want you living in an illusion, thinking you have eternalContinue reading “1 John (part 8)”
