“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.” Colossians 2:8

Oh how prevalent such hollow and deceptive philosophies are today, even within our churches. I am concerned that such philosophies are accepted and followed due to popularity or the appearance of reasonableness.  Whether disguised as “new generation” or traditions of man passed down from long ago; be aware of such philosophies, teachings, and ideologies that are based on human reasoning and not divine revelation. These principles of the world are void of truth, deceptive, and take us captive. Challenge philosophies of man and ideologies of this world. Look to the scriptures. Base philosophies, teachings, and ideologies on Christ and Christ alone.
