“… there is a moral idea connected with the head, that is, you get direction from the head. Look at the expression here; "entering into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh" (Col.2:18). It is all the exaltation of man -- he has confidence in himself. When you lose confidence in yourself you turn to Christ as Head. When a man is self-confident he turns to his own head, he trusts his own mind. When he loses confidence in his own mind that is holding the Head. I think people all go wrong, because they trust themselves in divine things, and their own thoughts and opinions. Men who do that are not holding the Head.”
