The Colossians were vulnerable. That’s why Paul warned them, and warns us, “Let no one deceive you … See to it that no one takes you captive.” Paul warned them about deception and distraction, a warning relevant to us. Don’t let anyone or anything deceive you or distract you from believing, trusting, and following Jesus. To do that, we must develop an ear for discernment, and we must keep our eyes on Jesus and keep our minds in God’s word.
