For the Christian, this is the day of distraction. Many voices are
calling out for our allegiance. For those en route to heaven, this
circumstance is most dangerous, for dwelling in the house of the
Lord requires a singular and consistent focus.
This book is an exposition of the remedial effects of proper
focus. It is a commentary on the Biblical book of Colossians. The
particular church to whom this letter is directed was experiencing
distracting influences. The spiritual rationale of maintaining a
proper focus is declared with great power.
It is also an expose of the erroneous "how-to" approach to "the
Christian life" that is being hawked by religious opportunists. For
the believer, a completeness is found in Christ that cannot be
augmented. There is no such thing as something that assists in the
improvement of spiritual life that is not directly related to
Christ, being revealed in the Scriptutres -- particularly by means
of apostolic doctrine.
This book is dedicated by my dear wife, June Ellen. As of 2009, we
have been married for twenty-nine pleasant and profitable years.
After I was widowed in 1979, I doubted that I would ever enjoy the
benefits of marriage again. This was compounded by the loneliness
that attends being widowed after twenty-five years. I asked the
Lord for mercy to live above my own circumstances, never realizing
how marvelously He would answer my prayer. Through His loving
providence, He crossed my path with a fine Christian lady, and we
soon were married. Sister June is an excellent wife and mother,
bearing four children to us: Adah Lael, Jonathan David and Benjamin
Seth (twins), and Eva Christine. From 1993 through their graduation
from high school, she homeschooled them in a most excellent way.
While they were young, she also fulfilled the role of a nurse, as
one of our twin sons, Benjamin, had brain cancer. At the age of
nine, a massive tumor (4" x 5") was removed from the front left
lobe of his brain. At that time, there was no medical guarantee of
his continuance in the body. June was trained to care for him, and
she nursed him through a very critical period, administering
medication, taking blood samples, and a host of other things
associated with the kind of care Benjamin required. Today, 2009, he
is a fine young man and is cancer free. From the practical point of
view, this is largely owing to the faithful care of his mother.In
addition to the key role she plays in our home, Sister June is also
an excellent minister of the Word of God. She teaches frequently in
our various assemblies and is an indispensable companion in the
good fight of faith as we journey together to the glory. She has an
extraordinary grasp of the truth and has been gifted by the Lord to
effectively communicate what she has been given to comprehend. She
is also the proofreader of most of my writing and is a most
profitable minister to my own spirit.Because of my love and respect
for her, owing to her indispensable contribution to my own faith,
and in gratefulness to our great God, I dedicate this volume to
her.
