These Last Days of Angst

In these last days we can expect more people attempting to "gaslight" those they wish to control.

Many will say the good you do is bad and the bad they do is good.

2 Timothy 3:1-5

"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people."

Romans 1:21-23 "21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and [d]crawling creatures."

We are living in very strange times, we can call it what it is but never allow it to influence us. In order to remain uninfluenced, we must become bold and strong through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 12:1-3 "1Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. 3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.…"

The Internet News Tabloids

Most information we see on the internet on just about any subject is nearly equal to information we might find in a tabloid newspaper such as the "National Enquirer."

I used to think that anyone buying those tabloids at the check-out stands were low intelligence because they were seemingly addicted to the trash in those so-called "news sources."

You know the tabloids I am talking about, the ones that have headlines like, "Elephant gives birth to a part human part elephant."

Or worse; "Human DNA found in wolf-dog." These headlines make us all shake our heads in disgust, but then again there are many such tabloid news articles and videos on the internet that are just as foolish lacking credibility as we see in these tabloids.

It's time for born-again believers to stop looking at the internet tabloid articles and videos which are disseminating as much false information as any check-out news tabloid.

There is a joke I heard many years ago when the internet first began to come into homes. The joke was; "it must be true I saw it on the internet." It was a joke because few people trusted what they saw or read on the internet.

I use the internet all the time for articles and videos that are done by credible people, however, many who say they are credible are not.

We are living in wicked times in which conservatives and liberals alike are spreading silly, even ridiculous news that CANNOT be vetted by the people reading or watching these news clips.

God has warned me not to fall into the trap of believing something simply because the writer or the maker of the video claims to have special knowledge.

If born again believers would stay to their mission of spreading the gospel and the word of God for His instruction for believers they would be far better off.

Too many believers are getting caught up in political issues, health paranoia, and much more as though these things are more important than the gospel.

Why do I believe they think these things are more important? The answer is simple they write far more about these things than they speak of God. We spend the most time on the things we think are important.

Christ is coming soon, people are dying and going to hell. Christians are becoming distracted by this life to the point of paranoia about what is going on around them, we need to stay focused on Christ and help those who are wavering, fearful and distracted.

I am excited about the number of videos and articles on the internet that are warning the people that Christ is coming for His church, the world is about to be taken over by the antichrist and the time is now to trust in Christ. God is clearly warning everyone what is coming in these last days, this is one of the reasons I know His return is soon.

Romans 12:1-2 "1Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. '"

Let's keep our eyes upon Jesus Christ, He will not allow us to be deceived if we are fixated on Him.
