“Alive in Christ, Dead to the World” – A Daily Meditation | Season 2, Ep. 285

by Freedom Story Media | Oct 12, 2023 | Five by the Fire, Freedom Story Podcast Network

Today’s Readings from the Plan:
1 Kings 15, ‭‭Colossians 2, Ezekiel 45, Psalm 36

Focus Passage: Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Read the Text, Meditate on it, Pray Through It, & Contemplate the Impact

“Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God. If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.”
