Decoys of Deception
“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.” Colossians 2:8
If there were ever a command to keep your mind on matters that mandate the heavenly calling, it is this verse. The demands of life often keep us focused on the here and now. There’s no doubt that what we do here and now is a part of the Christian walk, and we only do what we know. So it is important that we become grounded in the Source of knowledge; Jesus Christ.
Because of the opposition we face, it can be a battle to keep our hearts and minds guarded against the minds of men. Using man’s wisdom instead of the Wisdom of God will take us down a path of deception.
So, join in the conversation as we examine what is required to know the fear of the Lord and avoid the decoys of deception.
