I was talking with my buddy Stan Wu about Col.2:6-7 and the image of walking in Jesus - the Christian walk.  As we talked we brought up the other image of standing firm.  So Stan put it all together, “You have to stand firm to walk.  And you can’t walk sitting down.”  There it is.  Standing firm and walking are not opposed to each other, but two ways of describing different aspects of the Christian life.  Sitting down, however, is opposed to both.
