Dear CBF Family,
As the season makes its transition, there is a great anticipation in the air. Spring, its warmth, and the life that it reveals, will be welcomed by many who have endured the uniqueness of winter.
Speaking of change and being refreshed, our attention must shift to our next assignment – reading and studying the Word of God. Colossians 1:1-29 will be our focus for this month for the purpose of gaining deeper insight, understanding, and growth, resulting in productivity.
As we focus our attention on Colossians 1:1-29, Let us again distinguish ourselves by sharpening our observational skills with a sense of excellence, and disciplining ourselves by showing due-diligence by going deeper into the word of God.
Let us discipline ourselves in designating a specific time and place to read, observe, and learn; let us distinguish ourselves by placing a great emphasis on reading thoroughly, memorizing carefully, practicing intentionally, obeying willingly, and living wisely – especially as the day grows closer for our Lord’s inevitable return.
