TITLE: We Affirm Our Uniqueness
TEXT: Colossians 2 (p.983)
I. WE AFFIRM OUR SEPARATION
Group called the Essenes.
“The greatest danger regarding cults…is complacency-considering ourselves and our children to be immune from their attraction. If Christ is not the center of a Christian’s life, that Christian is ripe for another spirit.”
“We may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.” Eph.4:14
Ephesians 2: 14-19
II. WE AFFIRM OUR SOURCE
Who to avoid?
- We are to avoid the (intellectuals).
- We are to avoid the (legalists).
- We are to avoid the (mystics).
- We are to avoid the (ascetics).
Comes down to one factor: we are (made alive) in Christ and (forgiven).
