We listen to or read up on different philosophies today that has been concocted by many thinkers and philosophers, some of whom, do it for helping others, some for personal gains, and some to sabotage the truth.

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. - Colossians 2:5

The Word of God here gives us a warning. It says that the philosophies of the world can only spoil us and lead us to diverge from the actual truth about knowledge, existence, values and reasons. This is because the minds of these so called ‘thinkers’ and ‘philosophers’ of this earth are very limited and are constrained to be within the walls of time and space.

God on the other hand, is not constrained by anything. He is not swayed by the rudiments of the world. Let our philosophies be focused after Christ on whom real knowledge abides and in Him is truth incomparable, unwavering and deceit-less.

Let our thoughts be established on the true Word of God which is Christ Himself, who was prevalent even before the beginning of time and who is not constrained by mere mortal traditions of man.
