“That their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love…” – Colossians 2:2a

We are all created in the image of God, designed to be relational beings who thrive in an atmosphere of love. Encouragement is essential in our lives—it strengthens us to persevere on the path God has called us to walk.  When discord and disharmony arise in our relationships, we become vulnerable to discouraging and demotivating […]

“…that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” – Colossians 2:2-3

The Bible says that in the last days, there will be an exponential rise in knowledge (Daniel 12:4), and people will be in a never-ending pursuit of learning yet unable to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:7). There has never been a time more reflective of this biblical prophecy than the

“I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments.” – Colossians 2:4

Imagine a debate about whether a certain poison is good or bad for health. In this debate, those who speak in favor of the poison present a stronger case and appear to have won. However, the truth of the matter is that anyone convinced by the well-crafted, well-presented argument and decides to drink the poison

“For although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I delight to see your orderly condition and firm faith in Christ.” – Colossians 2:5

How can the apostle Paul, languishing in prison, be present with the children of God in distant Colossae? He is not merely saying, “I am thinking about you.” Rather, he is talking about a strong spiritual connection that is only possible through the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.  All of us who wholeheartedly believes in

“Rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” – Colossians 2:7

6th March 2025 A sapling stuck in a pot will never have the chance to grow into the tree it was meant to be unless its roots are given the opportunity to delve deeper into life-nourishing soil. Only when it is planted in fertile ground, and its hidden roots grow deeper, does it begin to

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy…” – Colossians 2:8

7th March 2025 Philosophy, in its literal sense, means the love of wisdom. More broadly, it encompasses the various activities that people undertake to understand the world, humanity, and relationships. Ironically, much of the philosophy we encounter today is empty and foolish. It sounds intelligent, sophisticated and appealing to our mind and senses, yet it

“Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self-denial or the worship of angels, saying they have had visions about these things…” -Colossians 2:18

16th March 2025 You may have encountered individuals who exude confidence and speak with authority about things that are false. Claiming to have seen visions from God, they manipulate people through deception and fear. Be wary of those who talk endlessly about visions but fail to expound on the Word of God.  Do not be

“…they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.” – Colossians 2:23

17th March 2025 Jesus did not hide His displeasure with the religious leaders of His time. They displayed an outward appearance of piety, self-denial, and strict discipline, while scorning anyone who failed to emulate their example. Yet, despite their rigorous adherence to regulations and traditions, they were unable to overcome the evil desires within their

“Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.” – Colossians 3:1

18th March 2025 God has planted eternity in the hearts of mankind (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Within each of us is an inherent sense that there is something beyond this fleeting life on earth. Yet, we often spend much of our lives chasing after the temporary things of this world. We do this, perhaps, because we lack
