| Publisher Description: "Yes, you can be god," promises the star studded talk show host. Not so according to God's word. This kind of mindless philosophy has been around for centuries. Paul warned the Colossian church in 60 AD about such heresy, deception and false teaching. The "new age" teaching is just as poisonous today as it was then. Mankind attempts to circumvent God's truths so they do not have to submit or feel accountable to Him. However, they lose out on the rich blessings promised in God's Son. Paul reveals the mystery hidden in ages past which has now been revealed; that is, Christ Himself. In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, and He abides in us. We are made complete in Him. Need we ask for more? This Study Guide for LIFE directs readers through the complexities of this epistle by a three-pronged approach to explain what the text says, what it means and how to apply it to their lives. This is done by: 1) offering explanations of our current understanding of the more difficult passages; 2) asking readers questions that can be answered directly from the text to focus attention on specific aspects of the prophecy; and 3) asking probing questions that encourage readers to examine their own lives with the truths that Paul reveals. The Study Guide is appropriate for the study efforts of individuals, small groups or teachers preparing to explain this book. Whether you are a curious seeker or a professional minister, the letter to the Colossians and this Study Guide for LIFE will open your mind to the glories of Christ, and will change your heart and your conduct to be like Him. |
