Pastor Tim Goad continues his exposition of this part of Colossians 3 where Paul now, regarding the roles, and rules, of Christian households, deals with the slave/master(modern time employer/employee) relationship. This is how we are to behave, carry ourselves, and even more so, show to a lost and dying world, our testimony in our love, obedience and fear of the LORD in so doing. For far to oft do they see the professing become people pleasers, seeking any means to gain the approval of men and to their own endgame, wanting more and more, willing to lie, cheat and deceive to get ahead. This declares to the on looking world that we are hypocrites, not living out what we say we truly believe about GOD, CHRIST, and HIS word. This should never be our testimony. |
