Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Application: 

When you are committed to setting your mind “on things above” (3:2), God will give you the peace of Christ—inner calm despite challenging circumstances to help confirm your decisions and the directions for your life. If you lack that peace, something is out of alignment. Therefore, for peace to reign, you must allow the word of Christ to dwell richly (3:16). The Word of God needs to be at home in you, welcomed into every part of your heart.

When I visit with members of my church, they say, “Make yourself at home, pastor.” But they don’t want me going into every room and doing whatever I want! God’s Word, by contrast, must have access to every part of the house of your heart—every bedroom, closet, and attic. You may have junk and dirt in places that you don’t want God to see. But rest assured: he already knows about it. And if you’ll let him, he can clean it up.

Our psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs should be directed toward God and each other. Through them, we worship our Lord with gratitude and teach one another biblical truth.

When God inspires me, I write blogs. Consider this writing as a Bible study. Like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, search the Scriptures to determine whether what I write is so. Always consult with your church ministers about biblical matters. I am also not a professional writer, so some grammar or spelling errors may be present. I try my best to write as efficiently as possible. Your brother in Christ, Ricardo
