See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. Colossians 2:8
In order for us to know what we are hearing is the truth… we need to know the truth. It’s easy to fall into a mode of believing the last compelling thing that we have heard. This is a dangerous place to be, so make a point to know what you believe and why you believe it. As a Christian you are “in Christ” and have the fullness of God powering your life, so simply ask Him for help comprehending and applying the Word to your life. You don’t grow up physically in an instant, so why expect to instantly be spiritually mature? God looks forward to the “process” of our growing as a great time of relational growth between He and us. Begin each day with a quiet time of structured Bible study and prayer, you’ll soon see how He will empower you to grow deeper in relationship with Him.
Great wisdom and wise words. Thank you for that blessing!
