jj Not of Any Value
In Colossians 2:20-23 we find these words, "Where-
fore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of
the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye
subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle
not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the
commandments and doctrines of men? Which things
have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship and hu-
mility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to
Dennis Moil
Minister
there are things practiced in the religious realm which
have originated in the ordinances, doctrines and com
mandments of men. These things have a show of wis
dom in will-worship, humility, and severity to the body
but are of no real value in helping people overcome
their fleshly appetites. As we read these verses we can
not help but think of the present stress placed upon the
observance of Lent and Easter. These are both seasons
which originated in the doctrines and commandments
of men for there is no mention of them in the Sacred
Scriptures. They are seasons which have a show of
wisdom, humility, and neglecting of the body. They
are of no value however in promoting true righteous
ness and holiness. During the season of Lent one is
supposed to deny himself certain meats and other
things of his own selection. As a rule people therefore
engage in these things more than usual before Lent
begins and return to them with just as creat a passion
when it is over. As the apostle says, "They are of no
value in checking the indulgence of the flesh." Many
make their sojourn to church services and then return
to their practice of staving awav from church services
The stress placed upon such things is "not of anv
value."
In the New Testament Christians met every first day
of the week to remember the Lord's death until He
came. (Acts 20:7); (I Cor. 11:23-34). There was no
importance attached to one first day of the week over
any other. Churches of Christ do hot observe special
days, months, times, or years (Galatians 4:9-11).
