—Colossians 3:1-17
by: Sheri Rood.
When I was 11 years old I attended a small church in the mountains of Colorado. There were only three families in the church—ours and two others that sat on opposite sides of the church and would not speak to each other. One week my family would sit on one side, the next week the other and so on, so as to be friends with both families. Sadly, that is the only thing I really remember about that church. Sometimes we do not feel loving, compassionate, or patient. That is why Paul instructed us to “put it on” and let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts.
