Colossians 3:11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

If ever there was a statement from God telling us we are all important to Him, this would be it in my eyes!

No matter what race, colour, creed, whatever, we are all God’s children, and He wants us all to join Him in Heaven...

This is where the choice comes to us – do we go the way of the world and sink in our sins, or do we rise in Christ’s light and favour!

Colossians 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

How do you focus on love when you are surrounded by evil, hate, greed and all manner of strange things?

God gives us freedom from these things by allowing us to effectively put those things to death in our lives.

If they are not living in us, they will not overflow from our lives and fill other people's lives.

Fill your life with love so it overflows into other people's lives!

Romans 14:1 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarrelling over disputable matters.

Have you ever gone into a church and been put off because the people have frowned upon you for not wearing the best suit or dress, or not bringing a big shiny bible with you?

I thank God I live with people who do not judge others by how they turn up to church – we are all different and Christ accepts us the way we are!

Yes, Christ wants us to change in some ways, but not in man's ways, in His ways!

Be a loving, inclusive Christian!
