Fantasy Thinking Destroys Faith

When we pretend things are true because they give us a good feeling, we are choosing fantasy over truth. When we walk with Christ truth is exciting enough, there is no need to invent anything else to create special feelings.

Its hard living in this culture today in which so many people speculate about this and that to muster up desired feelings.

When we are the ones who are constantly raining on everyone's parade to bring truth, we might find ourselves alone a lot.

In these end times of continual seeking of pleasure, fantasy is a big part of everyone's lives every day.

John 8:32
"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Fantasy can never satisfy because in our deepest heart we know what we want is not real. However, truth sets us free because we know when we speak truth it will never change and it will never diminish, its always there to be accessed by anyone who wants it.

Truth edifies and encourages, fantasy does nothing except lie there dead and broken when hopes and dreams are dashed by the onset of reality.

John 17:17
"Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth."

Ephesians 6:14
"Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,"

Fantasy thinking is not nearly as innocent as one might think, it draws us away from Christ and into darkness.
