Metaphors to Live By
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009
Lesson from March 1, 2009
Colossians 3:12-17
This passage continues the long section of exhortation that began in chapter 2, verse 6. There is a transition statement as Paul moves into this passage that is slightly different than the previous passages but continues the broad theme of calling on the Colossians to live up to their standing and status in Christ. Here he says, “As God’s chosen people, holy, and dearly loved ….” (v. 12). The other transition statements into previous units were at 2:6, 16, 20; and 3:1). Here Paul uses three words that his audience might have expected would be said about the Jewish people of his day, but he uses them in reference to Christians.

At the beginning of the year I attended our denomination's MidWinter Conference in Chicago. At the conference, Gary Haugen, President of the International Justice Mission, gave this humorous and powerful explanation of this awesome miracle. Enjoy!

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009So Gospel Journey Maui is now in full swing! We have our favorites and those we think should be kicked off the island so to speak-but one thing is for sure-the students are talking about their relationship with Jesus while sipping tropical smoothies. We're getting into the deep stuff like why are we here?
