"And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy  of the Lord and may please him  in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,   being strengthened with all power  according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,  and joyfully  giving thanks to the Father,  who has qualified you  to share in the inheritance  of the saints in the kingdom of light." - Colossians 1 Verses 10-12 (NIV) This is Paul's prayer for Christians.  In his letter, Paul addressed the "holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse" (see Colossians 1:2).  The fact that Paul prayed demonstrates the importance of what he prayed about, not only to himself, but to God also. Paul prayed that the Colossians might live a life worthy of the Lord . It's a fact that Christians may choose to live lives that are not worthy of the Lord.  Paul also prayed that the Colossians migh...

"Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle  and set apart  for the gospel of God." - Romans 1 Verse 1 (NIV) "... set apart for ..."   Glory to God!

It means total devotion, a complete dedication, a oneness with Him that can never be disturbed by anything.  God says, " You are mine and...

"Paul, an apostle - sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father." - Galatians 1 Verse 1 (NIV) Paul could state, with all knowledge and all confidence, that he was a man sent not from men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father. Indeed, the events that took place on the road to Damascus, the work of God that Paul went on to do and the manner in which he carried himself in life, testify to this. Some preachers are sent by men, some send themselves and some are sent by Jesus Christ and God the Father. My view is that it's always best to be sent by Jesus Christ and God the Father. I, however, believe that even those who are sent by men, or those who sent themselves, can also make a significant impact in the preaching of the Word. Paul knew this. Here is what he said at some point: "It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so in love... The former preach Christ out of...
