3:18-19 - G. Campbell Morgan of England many years ago said: “Watch
what takes precedence in the world. In a decade it will have come
into the church!” True? Yes, true. Jesus through the Gospel brought
great liberty to women in the church. But balance is difficult to
maintain. Through “The Women's Liberation Movement” an extreme
form of liberty took place, and the relationship to husbands was
disdained and rejected. One early woman of this move said: “I could
knock Paul's head off with a rolling-pin for saying it isn't 50/50!”</span></span></span></font></font></p>

for this one day. Are then the 10 commandments God gave Israel

- And what of the relationship of Management and Labor? Andrew
Carnegie did not understand his role in this. Taking legitimate wages
from laborers and giving philanthropy like libraries - is an
infringement on labor rights. But labor unions insisting on favors
that kill the goose that lays the golden egg - is also an
infringement or lack of balance. Balance is the most difficult goal
to achieve - but this scripture portion demands that we retain it as
a goal and seek by the grace of God and the inner control of Christ's
Spirit - to achieve this goal.</span></span></span></p>

- Why did Paul want the Colossians and Laodiceans and all other of
the 14 city churches he founded - to remember “his bonds”?
Because it would keep them humble as they remembered the price he
paid to bring them the Gospel. And then it would be easier to
perpetually remember the Redeeming Death of Jesus on our behalf as we
partake of the bread and cup, symbols of His body and blood. As often
as we partake of these symbols, let us remember His death till He
returns. 1 & 2 Thessalonians center on the Return of Jesus again
