"IS IT TRUE"?
Colossians 2:6-8 (KJV)
"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 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."
On Sunday evenings my pastor has recently spoke on "FALSE TEACHERS" after listening to a video by Shai Linne (A Christian Rap Artist) entitled the same. You may view it on YouTube by clicking below:

The Apostle Paul is telling us in Colossians that we are responsible for NOT being deceived by anything that is not CHRIST! He writes that "any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world" we should BEWARE of!
In the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 17 verse 10-11 (ESV) scripture records "The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to BEREA, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so."
The BEREAN Christians were determined to live their lives as scripture directed. They did not, and neither should we, rely on any man to give his opinion on matters related to Christian living. The end of v. 11 says "examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so"!
LORD, cause me to rely totally on how YOUR WORD instructs me to live for you! I trust in YOU alone for my guidance!
