Today’s Thought “A Religious Society, Void of Truth” G. Ward Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. American pastors have failed miserably to convey how necessary it is to imitate Jesus Christ who dealt with civil unrest in perhaps greater proportion than our era (cf. Hos.4:6). Therefore what could be completely devoted citizens of Heaven are taught to merge their faith with active participation in worldly disparities that establishes more advocacy and furthers a potential resolve achievable in/through other men (cf.Ac.4:12, Col.2:16). If any know my politics along with my Savior, they’ll never identify HIM as sufficient. Moreover, if exposed to my many perceived, righteous indignations, theirs will also increase, particularly as they hope in a future without accomplishment from global systems of times past. Instead, faith in Christ trusts in His rule and understands this evil world is operationally opposite of Heaven’s delight, then seeks to win a few onto peace found in Him.
