God's Word for Sunday, 7/16/17

Watch out for people who try to dazzle you with big words and intellectual double-talk. They want to drag you off into endless arguments that never amount to anything. They spread their ideas through the empty traditions of human beings and the empty superstitions of spirit beings. But that’s not the way of Christ. Everything of God gets expressed in him, so you can see and hear him clearly. You don’t need a telescope, a microscope, or a horoscope to realize the fullness of Christ, and the emptiness of the universe without him. When you come to him, that fullness comes together for you, too. His power extends over everything.

Colossians 2:9-10 MSG

I'm always glad to hear when a particular passage works for someone. :)

"Empty traditions of human beings and the empty superstitions of spirit beings." Pretty much sums of the bulk of the history of the human race.

Amen! Everything is too amazing to be accidental.

TB - God knows us, exactly as we are, and isn't fooled by the pretensions we assume about ourselves.

Linda - exactly!
