Philippians and Colossians

 As you read these letters, it is evident that Paul has much love for these two churches. He praises them for their faithfulness, encourages them in the work to be done, and warns them against false teaching. As a pastor I find it amazing the love that envelops me for the churches I have been privileged to serve. As a parent and grandparent, I find the love I have for my family to be overwhelming at times. We want the best, the very best for the ones we love.
