Verse 8

My youngest child's sleeping habits have been unpredictable the past few weeks.  Between ear infections, teething, and a stomach bug, I can't plan a time when I know I can read my Bible alone.  I've been so thankful for my index cards of verses to sneak in a few minutes here and there.

I'm finishing my passage from last time.
Colossians 6:8  NIV
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of the this world rather than on Christ.

  1. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
    1 John 4:10-11

  3. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NLT

    We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.

  5. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith.
    - 1 John 5:4

    I feel like there should be exclamation marks (!!!!) at the end of this verse. I am NOT defeated by this world because Christ is in me and HE alone has the victory!
