Pastor's Journal: the letter to the Colossians - an introduction
http://halogenpastor.blogspot.com/2011/11/letter-to-colossians-introduction.html
Tuesday, November 22, 2011. The letter to the Colossians - an introduction. The church of Colossae faced a similar contamination. The problem was syncretism, combining ideas from other philosophies and religions with Christian truth. The resulting heresy later became known as Gnosticism, emphasizing special knowledge ( gnosis. And denying Christ as God and Savior. Not unlike the church of Colossae, today’s Church struggles with the conglomeration of New Age philosophies and religious pluralism.

Wednesday, March 14, 2012. What is the relationship between the church and society? Or rather, what should. Church history has answered this question in three distinct ways. The first can be defined as a counterculture of separatism. Arguing that if it is God’s will for the individual Christian, it surely is His will for all of society. This has been otherwise known as the “Reformed view” of the relationship of the church and the state. That is, moving from individual Christian ...The realm of the Kingdo...

Tuesday, March 15, 2011. The problem of evil. By Dr Norman L. Geisler. If God created only good things, then where did evil come from? What caused Lucifer to commit the first sin when there was no sinful tendency in him or anyone tempting him to sin? If God knew Lucifer, and later Adam, would sin, then why did He create them? If God is the author of everything real, and sin is real, how can we avoid. Concluding that God is the author of evil? Why does God allow innocent suffering? Let me begin with the f...

Tuesday, April 10, 2012. What does it mean to be blessed? I think there are several answers, and all of them good ones, that can satisfy that question. We are blessed when God answers our prayers. We are blessed when someone does something on our behalf. We are blessed when we serve someone else. It makes sense that the word “blessed” correlates with good circumstances. But how does the word “blessed” correlate with bad circumstances? Joyful are those who experience sorrow, because they will be comforted.

Friday, April 22, 2011. Sharing our Story in light of the Christian Story. The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. So do not be intimidated or turned off by the word evangelism. Rather, embrace your call to share faith, ask the Lord for a sense of urgency to tell the world the good things G...
