Pastor Tim Goad delves into this section of Paul's letter to the Colossians regarding his warning of those things that the heretics were seeking to bring into the church, and worship of GOD, in feelings and emotions being the pinnacle of it, applying it to knowledge and acts of religiosity. Tim breaks down the 5 Distinct Examples Paul gives of the attempts to disqualify and distract from the true worship of GOD- 1)Delighting in self abasement, 2)the worship of angels, 3)taking a stand on visions, 4)being puffed up, and 5)by not holding fast to their HEAD- JESUS CHRIST. We see this running rampant across the landscape of America's so-called evangelical churches, where the need for rock concerts, emphasis on meditation in prayer, speaking in tongues, topical messages and so on seek to meet the felt needs of the world, but have nothing to do with GOD, HIS word, or the proper worship of HIM and it. |
