Colossians 3:15-17
Make sure God is the umpire of your emotions.
Just because you have passion, doesn’t mean it’s a good thing – God has to be in control.
Verse 16 – Is the word of God ruling you…or something else?
“Think about God, and be ye thankful.”
Colossians 4:2-18
Christians are to be a light to everyone else…Christians and “those that are without.”
Redeeming the time = making God the priority in your life (He won’t do it for you).
Verse 7 – Would you be okay having someone “share your estate” with others’?
What good is a light if others’ can’t see it? Commit to being open and honest.
James 5:16-20
If you want to get right, you have to talk about it.
Just like a pain in your body might require a doctors visit, spiritual pains need attention, too.
Be Christian instead of just looking like one.
When you run from fellowship, you are actually running from God.
Care about what is going-on with people spiritually.
Desire strongly for others’ to be their best for the Lord.
Pray for people – keep others’ on your mind.
