But now rid yourselves [completely] of all these things: anger, rage, malice, slander, and obscene (abusive, filthy, vulgar) language from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new [spiritual] self who is being continually renewed in true knowledge in the image of Him who created the new self— [Gen 1:26] a renewal in which there is no [distinction between] Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, [nor between nations whether] barbarian or Scythian, [nor in status whether] slave or free, but Christ is all, and in all [so believers are equal in Christ, without distinction]. So, as God’s own chosen people, who are holy [set apart, sanctified for His purpose] and well-beloved [by God Himself], put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience [which has the power to endure whatever injustice or unpleasantness comes, with good temper]; bearing graciously with one another, and willingly forgiving each other if one has a cause for complaint against another; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so should you forgive.

Pressure and confusion can bring out the worst in us, but God’s Word is a powerful tool to combat our triggers with His truth.
The meaning of life has had philosophers and fictional supercomputers scratching their heads for centuries, but the Bible was written by people with an unshakable sense of meaning and purpose. If all things are created for a purpose, what’s the purpose we were made for? Join us in this three-day plan as we explore three aspects of our purpose: love, caring for the world, and God’s glory.
