We examine in Colossians 2:16–23 how man-made religion threatens believers by adding rules, mysticism, and traditions that distract from Christ. Paul warns the Colossians not to let others judge or disqualify them through Old Testament regulations, ascetic practices, angel-worship, or claims of special visions. The passage urges Christians to cling to Christ alone, because only He provides genuine spiritual growth and true transformation.NOV 16, 2025The Trouble With Manmade ReligionJohn Baker -
We explore how Scripture teaches that gratitude is not optional but essential to the Christian life. True thanksgiving changes our focus, confronts harmful attitudes like worry and discontentment, and produces godly fruit in our character and relationships. By cultivating a grateful heart, we become more like Christ and more aware of God’s continual goodness.NOV 16, 2025How Gratitude Shapes HeartsJohn Baker
