Paul knew the importance of believers getting built up, firmly rooted, and established in their faith. This would equip them to withstand the heat and storms of life. It would also protect them from something that the Colossians were battling at that very time: those who were trying to delude them with persuasive arguments.
As I was reading this morning, Matthew 14:29-33 struck me. Jesus was walking onto the water towards the disciples. The disciples thought they saw a ghost.

Jesus once said that we are to “render unto Caesar what is due Caesar and render unto God what is due God.” The meaning behind this parable is easy to understand. We must pay our taxes and follow the laws the government lays out for us, while at the same time tithing and obeying God's word in our lives. It was the ideal way to live then, and it is the way we are called as Christians to live today.

Those of us who grew up in the 60's and 70's may remember the "What, Me Worry?" catch phrase from Alfred E. Newman, the posterboy for Mad Magazine, with his ragedy smile and his boyish-looking face.
