Colossians 3:17
Whatever ye do. Whether it be singing, whether it be "word or
deed", do
all in the name of the Lord Jesus. Neither in worship, nor in
his business and pleasures, must be the Christian engage in anything
that cannot be done in Christ's name; i.e., by his authority and in
prayer to him. This covers the whole life. It applies to conduct, to
places of resort, to secular calling. If doubtful, see if you can on
your knees ask Christ to go with you and bless you in what you are
about to undertake.
Giving thanks to God and the Father by him. The Christian should
always be thankful, because if he does "all in the name of Jesus", the
Lord will always be with him, and work out all for good.
