Scripture: Colossians 1.24-29

(Additional Reading: 2 Corinthians 1.5, 4.10; Philippians 2.30, 3.10; Galatians 2.20; 1 Corinthians 16.17)

“You just have to soak yourself in the scripture, much more than you ever imagined doing; and you have to soak yourself in prayer; and you have to listen hard, to the cries of pain that are coming, whether from your next-door neighbor, or from people on the other side of the world.”
