Short Reflection from Colossians 1-4

[Originally posted in a WhatsApp group (BRW-M) as a daily reading update (reflection) from each chapter of the Bible]

"so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;"

We can't be only Sunday Christians, but at all times, in all situations.

And we must be fruitful, not lazy.

And we must keep learning, not ignorant!

"See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ."

The word of God is the supreme authority over all ideas. This is the perfect verse to counsel a schizophrenic guy.

"Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father."

Whatever we do and say must be saturated with the word of Christ. How guilty fallen are we!?

"Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person."

Try cooking curry without salt. Salt is that important.

Try eating eggs or anything with an overdose of salt. It's disgusting.

We need the right pinch of salt for each dish.

So our response is "to each person"
