A Caution for Those Who Would Be Spiritual

There are 3 elements to spiritual living. In Philippian 3, Paul challenges believers to have an intimate understanding of all 3 to have a balanced and healthy spiritual life. They are doctrine, practice, and experience. It is easy to fall into a practice and experience that are not based on truth. The Bible warns that many "will have a form of spirituality that lacks power" and that "many will seek teachers to tell them things that make them self-satisfied". It also warns that this world is set up to deceive the people of God; and so, Paul takes time to warn the followers of Christ to ensure that the teachers that they follow are true to the Bible so that, as James says, they will not become driven about by every wind of doctrine. Join us as we examine today's text that gives those who would be spiritual a caution for today.
