How would you complete this sentence: A person who believes everything about Jesus and follows Him will speak in a way that is _______?
We are coming to the end of Paul’s letter to the Colossians. This Sunday we will look at Paul’s encouragement for them to “walk in wisdom” and to be ready to speak the truth to each person.

Peoples lives are on the line.
