THEME:
Satan is coming after you. He uses false teachers who are still alive and well. So, stay alert. Let the Holy Spirit show you falsehoods and identify them. Beware of lies that promise so very much, but leave you empty.
KEY SCRIPTURE:
Colossians 2:8-10
Colossians 2:8-10
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. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.
Be careful what you believe because emptiness follows deception
