“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

“Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature…since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. ” (Colossians 3:5&10, NIV) This morning we continue to look at a repetitive theme for Paul.  […]

“Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: ” (Colossians 2:20, NIV) The heart and soul of Tom Donnelly doesn’t like this verse very much.  I cringe every time I read the words, “…why, as though you still […]

01/23/22 Daily Devotion – Who made you alive?

“When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ.

01/22/22 Daily Devotion – The battle lines are drawn!

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.” — Colossians 2:8 (NIV) Now the battle lines are defined. Paul clearly stated that the battle of every age is between everything of this world and […]

01/20/22 Daily Devotion – Jesus is our source of wisdom!

“…in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.” — Colossians 2:2–4 (NIV) Once again, Paul used the word “mystery” to describe the wisdom and knowledge that is […]

01/19/22 Daily Devotion – What’s your energy source?

“To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.” — Colossians 1:29 (NIV) I just love the Apostle Paul’s perspective on life and ministry!
