Introduction: My father was a great man. He was smart, loving, successful, and took our family to church every Sabbath. His father, my paternal grandfather, died before I was born. That made me want to learn more about my grandfather. It was frustrating. My father never said anything good about him and my grandmother was … Continue reading –>
Introduction: If you are like most employees, you have (or had when you were working) some sort of evaluation of your work. Have you ever heard of an evaluation of your religious life? In law school it is common for the only student evaluation to be the final exam. Many view the Christian life like … Continue reading –>
Introduction: We’ve come to the final study in this series of lessons. This is Paul’s farewell to the members of the church at Colossae. The way in which Paul describes his coworkers is a lesson for all of us. When you are discussing someone you know, do you also mention the bad things about them? Or … Continue reading –>
Introduction: Some Christians find that living with others is difficult. Their marriage relationship requires constant work. They do not know how to relate to their children. Work relationships are generally unpleasant. Is this just bad luck? Or, if you constantly have difficult relationships, does this have something to do with you? Or is this just … Continue reading –>

Introduction: One of the less pleasant features of my legal career has been that both sides have a dislike for the other. The labor union did not like my client because my client wanted nothing to do with the union and had asked me to help. My client did not like the union because it … Continue reading –>
Introduction: Put on your “memory cap” to recall our first two lessons in this series. We studied the introductions to both Philippians and Colossians. Recall that Paul started his letter to the Philippians by humbly saying that he was a servant. He sounded quite different to the Colossians by describing himself as an apostle. We … Continue reading –>
Introduction: This week I read an astonishing statistic. Over 50% of a certain population in the United States admits to having a mental illness. When compared to earlier reports, this seems to be part of the same population that is the least religious. I regularly read that anxiety levels are high among those living in … Continue reading –>
Introduction: Does the concept of righteousness by faith seem logical or natural to you? Not to me. Leaving aside my belief in God’s blessings, all my life I believed and experienced that if I worked hard I would succeed. This is not merely my personal view; it is also the teaching of the Bible.
