"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.... Seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things of the earth" (Colossians 2:8, 3:1,2).
Perhaps it's time to inventory
The things we think about:
Are they focused on God's glory
Or things that nurture doubt?
Beware of things that turn your eyes,
Affecting your affection,
By vain deceit and subtle lies
Escaping your detection.
Heaven's perfect remedy
Is Jesus Christ our Lord!
It's not the vain philosophy
This world looks toward.
Set on Jesus Christ your love,
And think upon His worth.
Come and seek the things above
And not the things of earth.
