Colossians 2:8 NASB "See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the elementary principles of the world, rather than in accordance with Christ."I wonder if they really believe in what they are selling! Today's Word is great advice in life while we deal with those who are selling a false narrative! I just kept walking by! Recently we went to our local Fair and heard the many hucksters trying to sell this and that. They spoke of how their product will change our life and I couldn't' help but think that there are those among us that try to sell the "worlds view of Christ" that don't line up with His Word. We must be careful to go to God's Word when dealing with those in life who try and make living for Christ, this beautiful, easy, all we need kind of life when in reality, coming to Christ will challenge us in ways we may never thought of. The difference is that Christ offers hope through the struggles and will be with us but I wonder if those selling "their" products will be with us through the struggles! Just my thoughts! peace, tom
