0:00.0	Welcome to Enjoying the Journey with Evangelist Scott Pauli.
0:13.0	Today we are on a journey through Scripture.
0:16.0	We hope you'll join us as we make 66 stops through each book of the Word of God.
0:21.6	One of the great principles of Bible study is comparing Scripture with Scripture.
0:43.2	Someone has suggested that the greatest commentary on the Bible is the Bible itself,

1:40.7	It is the sword of the spirit. And there's so many little truths like that that connect these two
1:45.0	books. And Ephesians is mainly instruction. Colossians is more correction. Paul is writing an
1:52.2	answer to certain heresies that crept in. This book is written, not from a defensive position,
1:58.8	though. It's written from an offensive position he
