Faith in the True Gospel
In this week's scripture lesson, the Apostle Paul is refuting a number of false teachings and practices that had infiltrated the church at Colossae. Promoting sound doctrine and protecting God's people from erroneous and dangerous teaching is one of the most important jobs of those who are called to pastoral ministry. At the same time, it can be one of the most difficult things to do, because it puts you in direct opposition with the proponents of whatever belief or practice you are refuting. Experience has proven that people don't often like being told they are wrong.
