I remember when many people were worried about and preparing for disaster in the year 1999, expecting a crash in all computers as well as no ability to buy groceries.
My husband and I couldn't figure out what they were worried about. I said; "there was a day we ran the country without technology the worst that could happen is we would go back to the old ways until things could be figured out.
My husband maintained that things will be figured out quickly and we would not miss a beat.
Some of our friends were worried, stocked up on groceries, and waited with bated breath until the misery came.
Guess what!!! The misery didn't come, my husband was right, things were figured out quickly and no one was without whatever they needed. The hype about the matter was bogus, just like the hype about many conspiracies are also bogus now, only on steroids.
I challenge believers to go to prayer to be shown what is internet lies and what is not. Better yet, stop "researching" things you would not otherwise see just living your lives. When you are faced with something God will give you the wisdom about handling it.
I am fully confident that I do not need to know the future, God will give me the wisdom I need for whatever He has for me to endure.
Most of the conspiracies on the internet are lies, YES I SAID that!! They are lies sprinkled with a tiny bit of half-truth, making them sound believable.
Do we trust Christ for each day or only for salvation? I trust that He knows what is true and what is not and what I will need to know when there is a need.
One thing for sure, I don't want my head full of lies concocted by those who are fooling Christians every day distracting them from Christ and trusting in Him.
Philippians 4:8
"8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
This does not mean that we don't face life as it comes to us, it means we do not go looking for useless knowledge and gossip.
