Paul opens this letter the way people of his time often wrote—he introduces himself, shares his credentials, offers a greeting, gives a blessing, and then dives into the body of his message. But from the very beginning, Paul sets the…

Continue reading →: Building Families That Please the Lord (Colossians 3:20–21)Yesterday, we looked at Paul’s teaching on husbands and wives in Colossians 3:18–19. Paul raised the standard for marriage, calling wives to honor their husbands and husbands to love their wives sacrificially, as Christ loved the church. But he doesn’t stop there.
