See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow & deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition & the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. ( Col. 2:8 NIV)
In today's world, it is extremely important to know what we believe as Christians. People will try to twist Gods word, cite the latest polls, & give you all the reasons why things have changed & we need to as well. As Christians our only guide is to be Gods word. It doesn't change. If we don't know what Gods word says, it is easier for us to be deceived. We have to be spending time studying Gods word on our own. We need to be in bible study with others. We have to spend time in prayer daily. During our prayer time we need to spend time talking with God & also listening to God. If we will do these things, we can discern when the philosophy is hollow & deceptive or it just goes against Gods word. It's up to us to know what we believe because if we don't the world will be quick to tell us what we should believe & the world is not our guide. So today study, teach your kids, be the influence. It's our best protection.
