Media and Political Hype

“It’s easier to fool people than it is to convince them they’ve been fooled.”

Mark Twain

What we are dealing with right now among so many is media that has convinced people on a wide spectrum of lies that no one can prove but they are convinced they have the truth.

Don't think just because you are a conservative all conservative news outlets and videos are telling the truth. Information is so easily manipulated in these apostate days that it is not wise to jump on any bandwagon about anything.

With the onset of the internet, the ability to fool people about nearly everything has exploded in the past few years.

It is best to ignore the media, stop looking for information on things that do not directly impact your lives, and just trust the Holy Spirit for day-to-day actions.

Our attitudes are shaped by the media that lately does nothing but foster anger in those looking at it. I see more sad and angry people now than I have ever seen in my life among believers disturbingly within the walls of church gatherings.

"Christians" are fighting with one another over something that has no impact on their eternity or holy living.

The focus has become almost entirely on a disease or political bent without concern for souls. Physical well-being, personal rights, personal pleasure and happiness override personal relationships and Christ.

If a believer dies from a disease they will go to their eternal home in heaven. If an unsaved person dies of a disease they will go to hell. Shouldn’t our focus be on the salvation message for the unsaved rather than on a disease that might kill them. If they become born-again and die they will go to heaven.

The continual ruminating on media hype has ruined relationships, destroyed church gatherings and deterred many from the gospel.

Mark 16:15-16 “ 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.…”

I just wonder how many people would find their peace and joy returning to them if they were to abstain from the addiction of political and media hype and fill their days with useful productive activities that glorify Christ? Not to mention becoming more beneficial for the Kingdom.
