Colossians 3:15-14 - Getting Dressed Spiritually
The next Colossians song has now been reworked, re-recorded, and remastered! This is a powerful scripture reminding believers to put on love in all interactions.
As a personal reflection on this scripture, I love the reminder Paul is giving us: we all once walked in the bad habits of the flesh, and we've been set free from the bondage that holds us captive! It's almost like we need to think of the characteristics of our faith as clothing-- we "put on" the new self, which is in process; it's "BEING" renewed.
5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

I pray this song opens the scripture to you plainly, and that you give Christ full access to your life.

Galatians Collection Album
Recently I noticed that if I'm viewing my discography on the streaming sites, my singles don't show up unless you click the "Singles and EPs" button.
Rather, my albums get the primary focus, and that's a bit of a problem since my last two albums ("Christmas 'Round the Piano" and "HYMNS one") are not very good and don't get very many plays.
Nowadays musicians don't really release albums, but rather singles, as it is easier to get attention on individual songs rather than groups of songs. After finishing with Galatians, I've released twenty-two singles since July 2025.
So I have decided to re-release all of my Galatians songs as an entire album, so that they get more visibility. That's 28 songs on one album, which is kinda crazy! But it continues in the pattern I set with Love the Psalms, Songs to the Church in Ephesus, and Hey! Philippi.
When I'm done with Colossians (only three songs away from completion!) I'll do the same with that collection.
Thanks for all you do to support me and spread the word! God bless you!
