Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual force of this world rather than on Christ.
Paul, led by the Spirit and inspired by God, warned the Colossians against any philosophy of life based on human ideas and experiences. Paul was condemning teaching that credited humanity, not Christ, with being the answer to life’s problems. That approach becomes a false religion. There are many man-made approaches to life’s problems that totally disregard God. To resist the hollow and deceptive philosophies of the world you must use your mind, keep your eyes on Christ, and study God’s Word.
Looking forward to being with you again this Wednesday and praying everyone has a great week!
In Christ,
