Christ vs. Counterfeit

Just imagine sometime on July 4th while you are celebrating our country’s birthday, soldiers from another country invade and take you captive and lead you away from the country you hold dear. Wouldn’t that be a terrible tragedy??? But you know what would be worse??? The Apostle Paul said, “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” (Col. 2:8). What would be worse than losing your country is losing Christ! See that no one takes you captive and leads you away from Christ!
