Colossians 4:2-18

This spirituality works in the world (with Q&A)

Authentic Christian experience is outward focused. This contrasts profoundly with so much of the self-absorption found both in traditional and modern spirituality. Paul urges persistent prayer both for gospel advance and for personal godliness­—all of this has in mind the outsider. The shape of truly Christian experience is counter-intuitive. It is radically personally transforming, supernaturally every day and outward looking.
