ON THE PEWS

Today's reading: Colossians 3-4

"Let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in your hearts and make you wise. Use his words to teach and counsel each other. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, let it be as a representative of the Lord Jesus, all the while giving thanks through him to God the Father." Colossians 3:16-17 NLT

The instructions, commands, recommendations and requests listed here are for us, believing friends.

If you look a little deeper into the words, they are for us within our church walls.

On the pews.

Towards our Christian brothers and sisters.

We sometimes forget, with the mandate to reach the world, that in doing so we must not step on the hearts of those around us with the same mandate.

Be patient and loving to your brothers and sisters in Christ. Be kind. Be always looking out for their best interests. 

Support your comrades at arms.
