Don’t Let Anyone Capture
You With Empty Philosophies
And High Sounding Nonsense 


Scripture

Colossians 2

⁶ And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him.
⁷ Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

8 Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.

Observation

Have you been captured by some philosophy, some way of thinking that is contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ? Because of the Internet and the World Wide Web it has never been easier to be influenced, captured, and carried away by philosophies and ideas that come from human thinking and from spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.

It might sound good to you, but it is high-sounding nonsense if it goes against the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and what we read in God’s Word, the Bible.

Do you want me to listen to you and what you are espousing? How well does it line up with the heart of God and what He shares with us in His Word? If it doesn’t line up, and if it is not consistent with the heart of God, as revealed to us in His Word then don’t expect me to be in agreement with you!

All of us are sinners and we are all in need of a Savior. Jesus Christ came to this earth to die in our place so that we could have our sins forgiven and so that we could have a relationship with God the Father forever! 

The Bible is God’s manual for how we are to live out our lives here on planet Earth. There is no other guide. There is no other manual!

Application

I will live my life guided by the Word of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ. How about you?

 Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us Your Word to guide us. It is a lamp to our feet and it lights up our path. I pray for those who are trying to live life without putting You first in his or her life. Show them how futile it is to live life without a relationship with You. I pray for those who have been confused by philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and spiritual powers of this world. Open up their eyes so that they can see things from Your perspective.
