HUMAN PHILOSOPHY
Colossians 2:8
"Beware lest anyone cheat you [margin: plunder you and take you captive] through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ."
Paul's warning about human philosophy is just as valid today as it was in the first century. Humanism and Theism are incompatible. Whatever the area of philosophy – whether origins, personal rights, morality, sexuality, ethics, government, economics or any other area – human thinking is in contradiction to Christ-thinking. Humanistic thinking has taken our culture captive and is plundering our nation. It is cheating this generation because it is empty deceit, making people think that the way to freedom is follow man's wisdom. God's way is best because it leads to true freedom and the abundant life.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Human philosophy is deceptive because it appears to lead to life but in reality takes away freedom.
Have a Christ-thinking day. Love you.
