Are you being fooled by false teaching without even knowing it? In this Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Colossians chapter 2 verses 2 through 4 in the King James Version to show us what the Apostle Paul prayed for the church — and what he warned them about.
You might be asking — Why did Paul pray so urgently for people he wasn't even physically with? What does it mean to be enriched, established, and enlightened in the faith? How can Satan disguise himself so convincingly? And what does it look like when people have itching ears today?
Key points from this devotion:
- Paul prayed that believers would be enriched in understanding, established in maturity, and enlightened in the knowledge of Christ
- All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ alone
- Satan transforms himself into an angel of light and uses false teachers to mislead God's people
- The days of itching ears are here — people are turning from sound doctrine to what they want to hear
- The cults are busy while believers are hiding — we must not help Satan by being passive or uninformed
