OT -- Jeremiah 2:31-4:18
This is a fabulous website on Jeremiah. Click here before you read today's scripture.
40 years is a very long time to be a prophet. It is also a very long time to be alive in a world where virtually everything is falling apart around you. I hope I can have a little compassion for the man as I read his awful, awful condemnations of Judah.
NT -- Colossians 1:1-20
We start a new letter today. It is considered a Pauline letter and it was written to the Christians in Colossae. Paul had not visited the church when he wrote this letter so this is not a church he started or knows everyone involved. It will have a different tone from the previous letters due to this fact. However, Paul is intent on making sure the gospel PAUL preaches is the one that the Colossians adhere to.
Proverbs 24:21-22
Fear the Lord and the king and do not join in with rebellions.
Well, you can certainly advise the young-uns but don't count on swaying them.
Rebellions seem to be populated with youth.
