Colossians 3:1-15
Do you have an action plan? What have you done this week to establish an action plan?
When you become a Christian you give up that right to try to get back at people.
God can, and will, keep you cool.
Don’t wait on a feeling to act – be what God wants, not your flesh.
A Christian is a caring person.
If your personality is not caring loving and compassionate then you need to change.
Being a Christian is not what you want to do. Redeeming the time is about buying it back.
You have to be strategic about the things of God in order to do things in God. Put it on.
You can’t be stubborn or rebellious. Stubborn = idolarty, and rebellious = witchcraft.
So many people suffer for stubbornness – because they don’t want to do it.
Verse 12- some people are only nice to people that they want to be nice to.
Put it on. If they don’t speak then I will speak. Put on kindness.
Verse 13- forbearing one another and forgiving one another.
Some people are mean because you crossed them and they won’t let it go.
Matthew 6:14-15
If you don’t forgive people then God will not forgive you.
Be nice to everybody you can – school, work, everywhere.
People in school will forget next year…don’t compromise God to please them.
(Back to Colossians)
Got to put on love – we’ve got to care. Show love and put it on.
Let God umpire your decisions. Let God decide the argument – do it God’s way.
