Know They Care, Care What They Know Gareth Weakly

There’s an old saying that “nobody cares what you know unless they know that you care”. So be encouraged by your leaders in Christ, because they care about you. Know their struggle and receive their greetings. And when you’ve been encouraged, pass it on!

Salt Shakers Gareth Weakly

As we abound in thankfulness that God has transferred us from the domain of darkness to the kingdom of his beloved Son (Colossians 1:13), we now have the privilege of making the mystery of Christ known to others. Paul gives us two ways to do that in Colossians 4:2-6: by persevering in prayer and walking in wisdom.
