The slavery described in the Bible is not like the slavery of modern times. It is a product of fallen man. God did not ordain slavery, but He worked with it for a purpose. Hebrew slaves were treated well, almost like a part of the family, and many willingly entered into servitude. We should all have a relationship of willing obedience to our Master. VF-2310 Colossians 3:22-4:1

Jesus has given us power of attorney to act on His behalf, using His name. So why have our prayers become powerless? Are we just uttering words when we finish our prayers, “in Jesus’ name”? Or are we understanding the power of what we’re tapping into? The difference between the two is quite radical. When we pray in our own strength and in our own flesh, we become powerless. But when we connect our thoughts in prayer with everything we know about Jesus and the actions He has already made good on, we can begin to tap into the power and exercise the authority we have in Jesus’ name. VF-2309 Colossians 3:17

Throughout church history, music has been an expression of worship to God. When the word dwells richly in our hearts, it expresses itself through us in teaching, admonishing, and singing. Music and word belong together and have the power to affect and change lives. VF-2308 Colossians 3:16-17

Historically, there has been debate over music in the church. A closer look at the Bible shows that it has always been a part of the church. Music has been used to express praise and thanksgiving to God and to teach people the word. It is an expression of devotion, so it must never be lukewarm. VF-2307 Colossians 3:16-17, Ephesians 5:19-20

The peace of God should be understood as something that is separate and distinct from peace with God. Peace with God has a connection to our salvation. The peace of God is something that comes from Him. He gives this to us as a remedy for fear, to help us stay strong in the midst of crisis. With fear coming at us from every direction, this may be one of the most important messages to help us keep our sanity as well as our faith. VF-2304 Colossians 3:14-15

The unconditional agape love that comes from God is not like human love; it is the fruit of the Spirit of God in us, not something we can do in the flesh. This kind of love links us to God, and from it flows patience, kindness, generosity, and compassion. VF-2303 Colossians 3:14
