“And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
Colossians 3:17
The beauty of the Christian life rests upon the inspired words of Colossians 3:17. Degrees of light increase in our lives as we put into practice this verse. Contrarily, various levels of darkness develop as we turn to our own desires and pursue in word and deed what we want. Have you not seen this in your own life?
As we consider this verse practically, spend some time thinking about two questions. “In what overt ways does your life reflect the forgiveness, hope, and joy of the gospel? In what specific areas does your life reflect poorly on the good news of forgiveness and eternal life in Christ?” John MacArthur
I’ll see you Thursday morning for a good discussion of God honoring living based on Titus 2 and Colossians 3:12-4:1. If you would like to bring a special holiday treat to share with our coffee, feel free to do that. I have already heard that there is going to be a sausage casserole there. Yum!
Shelley Ciolek will be organizing the Christmas decorations after Bible Study on Thursday. If you can stay for a bit and help her, she would really appreciate your assistance.
