Colossians 2:1-4 For I would that you knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea… "This morning," says Mr. Fuller, "I have read another of Edwards' sermons, on 'God, the Christian's Portion,' from Psalm 73:25. The latter part comes very close, and I feel myself at a loss what to judge as to God's being my chief good.
