Colossians 4:1-9 ​​Paul teaches to the Colossians church on their attitude towards outsiders. His teaching is not a grand mastery of doctrines, but a quite simple yet profound one.

Colossians 3:18-25 Christ-likeness doesn't simply mean that we establish a vertical relationship with God, but it really means that we also reach out horizontally.

He talks about husband-wife relationship, servant-master relations.. 더보기
Colossians 3:12-17 ​​Wearing a certain kind of clothes is one of the ways to show what kind of person we are. Policemen wear officer's uniform, doctors wear doctor's gown, and Christians wear the clothes of righteousness.

Colossians 3:1-11 An absence of something doesn't mean an existence of another. This is also the case for godliness. The absence of sin doesn't mean that we automatically become holy and righteous.

This leads us to another question, how c.. 더보기
Colossians 2:1-8 Paul's heart for the people he'd neither met nor seen is quite surprising. We can see from the Scripture how earnestly he prayed for people at the Colossians church and even voluntarily went through struggles for their sake that they might fully know Christ. How could this have been possible? It's even hard to sacrifice ourselves for people we are close to, but how can we bear burdens for total .. 더보기
Colossians 1:21-29 Embarrassment only comes when we are not certain about the things we do and the words we say. If we are truly certain about something, we will not be ashamed of it no matter how it look to others. I see everyday some people trying to share the gospel to others on streets, shouting out some verses from the Scripture. The general reaction to those people is contempt. To my shame, I cannot deny tha.. 더보기
Colossians 1:9-20 God doesn't exist for our own happiness and comforts, but it is I who exist for Him and His glory. We live in a world where an individual's rights to be happy and to be satisfied are prior to any other values.
