We continue you are study today through the book of Colossians and again we find ourselves in chapter 3.  Last week we looked at how we must look up if we are to have the right focus, today I want us to look at how things must be done in life.  No matter what your position is we will have a clear understanding of how things need to be done and why we should do them that way.

Colossians 3:16-17
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
