Pastor's Pen

Beloved, as a young man growing up, I would relish the day that I got to take home my report card. Most of the time I would bring home a good report card. My parents would look it over, sign it, and then return it to me so that I could give it back to my teacher. I think I may even have some of my old report cards.

My Dad would say, “good job! It seems that you are going to school not just to look at the girls and eat your lunch!” True enough though I did participate in those two things my Dad mentioned.

Here in Colossians, Paul is writing the Colossians a letter in response to a report he heard about them. Epraphas brought to Paul some information concerning the Colossians and overall it was a good report, though there were some thing that would be addressed.

This leads us to ask the question concerning our Christianity: how would our report card read? My prayer is that we would each have a good report of faith, hope and love in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and for those in our lives!

Blessings-
