"so
that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all
respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of
God;"
We
can't be only Sunday Christians, but at all times, in all situations.
And
we must be fruitful, not lazy.
And
we must keep learning, not ignorant!

"See
to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception,
according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of
the world, rather than according to Christ."
The
word of God is the supreme authority over all ideas. This is the perfect verse
to counsel a schizophrenic guy.

"Whatever
you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks
through Him to God the Father."
Whatever
we do and say must be saturated with the word of Christ. How guilty fallen are
we!?

"Let
your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you
will know how you should respond to each person."
Try
cooking curry without salt. Salt is that important.
Try
eating eggs or anything with an overdose of salt. It's disgusting.
We
need the right pinch of salt for each dish.
So
our response is "to each person"
