The Emerging Asceticism — UHD 14:6

Why, as if we are living in an earth-bound world, do we submit to decrees such as “Creation care, ending poverty, and health care?”  All of these are destined to perish with use. 

God says, “If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, 21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!” 22 (which all refer to things destined to perish with use)– in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men? 23 These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence”  (Col. 2:20-23).
