See to it that no one takes you captive
through hollow and deceptive philosophy,
which depends on human tradition
and the elemental spiritual forces
of this world rather than on Christ.
–Colossians 2:8 (NIV)–

Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
–Psalm 127:1 (NIV)–

There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death.
–Proverbs 14:12 (NIV)–
