To Do: Be Discerning
When certain statements and claims are made by the world, don’t be quick to support them. Instead take time to understand the real heart behind them and to examine them in light of God’s Word. In other words, be discerning.
Don’t be swept up by every wind of doctrine or teaching. Remain grounded in God’s Word and let it be your marker for what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Bible Verse: Colossians 2:8 (ESV)
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to the human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
The philosophies of the often extremely educated people that make some of the statements that govern our modern culture can be convincing.
But Paul cautions us not to be cheated of the truth by such philosophy, regardless of how persuasive it is. It is deceitful, empty and guided by the dark spirits of the world and will lead us from the truth and salvation we have in Christ.
As you meditate on this verse, ask the Lord to reveal to you any philosophy, statements that may have or may be misleading you.
