Colossians 2:1-7 - The Root Below The Drought | Atmospheric Doom Worship

Colossians 2:1-7 (NIV) "I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
