Colossians 1:27 Christ is in you, therefore you can look forward to sharing in God’s glory. It’s that simple.

Near the Kingdom

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Ephesians 5:5  You can be sure that using people or religion or things just for what you can get out of them–the usual variations on idolatry–will get you nowhere, and certainly nowhere near the kingdom of Christ, the kingdom of God. (Message)

2 Kings 5:13  And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
Between running out of gas way too many times and trying [...]
