Paul in the book of Colossians writes regarding the Christian and his or her daily work. A Christian's faith should not be kept hidden, but be the framework of our life.

“What is the pathway to spiritual fullness?” The question was asked by the church in Colossae but the people were being harmed by answers that were lies.
