Knowing the truth about Christian living invites us to live an ordinary life in an extraordinary way.<\/h2>\n

Today\u2019s message entitled \u201cHow Shall We Then Live . . . Together?\u201d <\/em><\/strong>comes from Colossians 3:18-4:6<\/strong> where the Apostle Paul uses eleven commands to guide us in relating to our families, our workplace and all others in Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

\"\"Paul began chapter 3 by urging believers to \u201clook above.\u201d He has closed the chapter in the same way. Wives are to \u201clook above\u201d to Christ as their example of submission; husbands are to \u201clook above\u201d to Christ as their example of love; children are to \u201clook above\u201d to Christ as their example of obedience; slaves are to \u201clook above\u201d to Christ as their impartial rewarder; masters are to \u201clook above\u201d to Christ as their heavenly judge.<\/p>\n

Spirituality is a matter of understanding our identification with Christ, having our lifestyle transformed, and honoring Christ in our relationships. Ordinary sounding stuff, but with Christ at the center, it becomes extraordinary indeed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
