Lesson 11: Living With Christ (Colossians 3:1-17)
Does it matter how you live? Do your thoughts matter? Two weeks ago, we learned that if we maintain steadfast faith in Jesus, and we do not “shift” away from Him, we can be certain that we are saved from our sins. That makes us think that what we do does not matter as long as we do not turn away from Jesus. In Colossians 3, Paul tells us that what we do and think matters. We are not free to do whatever we want, secure in the idea that “God will forgive.” God will forgive, but that should not be the point of reference for our thoughts. Let’s jump into Paul’s teaching about how we should think and live our lives as children of God!

Emotional Intelligence
Can the Bible help you get promoted at work? Can the Bible increase your pay? Can the Bible help you keep your job? Improve your marriage? The answer is “Yes!” The Bible teaches principles of “emotional intelligence” that can actually help you to be smarter and get along better. Bruce Cameron, the writer of these Bible studies and a law professor, has published a paper written for lawyers which presents 17 Bible-based rules of emotional intelligence which God gave us to improve our lives. Best of all, Professor Cameron’s paper is free and you do not have to be a lawyer to understand it. To get your free copy, first click on this link.
