because everyone needs to be grounded

i guess you could say i have a passion for discipleship. because everyone needs roots, and everyone needs to be grounded.

"have the roots of your being firmly and deeply planted in Him (fixed and founded in Him), being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving." Colossians 3




"therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude." Colossians 3.7 NASB




"My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you've been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You're deeply rooted in him. You're well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you've been taught. School's out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving." Colossians 3.6-7 MSG


if our beings are firmly rooted in Christ, we can draw deep from the life-giving water that runs all around us in His word and works; and we can live.
