Colossians 1:6

Colossians 1:6 (MSG)
The Message is as true among you today as when you first heard it. It doesn't diminish or weaken over time. It's the same all over the world. The Message bears fruit and gets larger and stronger, just as it has in you. From the very first day you heard and recognized the truth of what God is doing, you've been hungry for more. It's as vigorous in you now as when you learned it from our friend and close associate Epaphras. He is one reliable worker for Christ! I could always depend on him. He's the one who told us how thoroughly love had been worked into your lives by the Spirit.

to lead them, to show the way ahead and bring them back home so God's community will not be like sheep without a shepherd."

Balaam answered Balak's servants: "Even if Balak gave me his house stuffed with silver and gold, I wouldn't be able to defy the orders of my god to do anything, whether big or little. But come along and stay with me tonight as the others did; I'll see what god will say to me this time."
