In this first chapter of the excellent epistle to the Colossians, Paul commends them for their humble and pure-hearted acceptance of the simple but powerful, life-saving Gospel of Christ Jesus.  Pulpits and platforms today are inundated with disgusting, ridiculous and blasphemous teachings that can only lead their hearers to eternal hell.  Sadly the followers of these false teachers love the deception they hear and would generally shut their ears against God's truth.  They are enticed and seduced into false worship and eternal hell, as they worship their leaders and teachers, putting them in the place of God.

There is only ONE way to be a Christian!
