Topic: Tradition of men
Colossians 2:8 KJV
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
We are warned not to allow any "MAN" no matter who the person is to mess us up through PHILOSOPHY and vain deceit.
Does that not ring a bell?
A lot of people have been spoilt already and many more have moved into confusion.
The era we are now is a dangerous one, where different philosophies and ideas of men are flying about. The word of God is been handled with deceit by strange teachers all over.
"Romans 16:18 KJV
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."
The people deceived are mostly the simple without a good foundational knowledge of the word of God.
We shouldn't be spoilt through the tradition of men, that is, when culture, tradition and idea of any man, group or association(even if it's called a Christian association or called a church) contradicts the word of God, flee for your life. "Anything that is not preparing you for heaven is preparing you for hell"
We shouldn't be carried away by things in this world because they are temporal, we are to look solely to the Author and Finisher of our faith.
Let's watch what we listen to, let the Bible be our Guide and let the Holy spirit be our Instructor that is what will make us stand at this time.God will help us in Jesus name.Amen.
They might demonstrate intelligence but remember, only the word of God can "MAKE YOU" philosophies and ideas of man can only "SPOIL YOU"

Prayer: Help me Oh Lord to take my stand and not get spoilt by men, in Jesus name.
Remain blessed
