Why the Bible Isn’t Changing You (Colossians 3:16 | KJV)

Is the Word of God only in your head… or is it actually living in your heart?

In today’s devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster turns to Colossians 3:16–25 (KJV) and gives a direct, practical reminder: being “Spirit-filled” is not a label—it looks like the Word of Christ dwelling in you richly, shaping what you say, how you worship, and how you live at home, at work, and in your relationships.

This episode connects the Word-filled life to the Spirit-controlled life—and asks the honest question: if the Word is really in you, what fruit is showing up?

You’ll also hear a clear contrast from Galatians 5:
the works of the flesh reveal a self-ruled life, but the fruit of the Spirit reveals a life being led and controlled by God.

In this episode, you’ll reflect on:

• What it means for the Word to “dwell… richly” in you

• Why knowing Scripture isn’t the same as being controlled by it

• The fruit that follows Spirit-filled living

• The warning signs of flesh-led living

• How worship and daily obedience flow from a Word-filled heart

Scripture References (KJV):
Colossians 3:16–25
Galatians 5:19–25
Psalm 96:1–2
