Scripture lesson: Colossians 2:6-10 Taken captive
Time to reflect: This is a good warning to all intelligent and educated people. There is always some intellectual fad that seems so right and so persuasive and that all our peers have bought into so we get drawn in – captured – by it. But these are always fleeting, but the Word of God stands forever.
Moving through the day: What ideas, philosophies, fads in our culture seem to be leading away from the simple message of the Gospel? Pray for clarity of thought to see what is good about these trends and what is leading away from God.
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
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.
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.
