My greatest frustration is not all that is going on in the world, it is that believers in Christ are becoming carried away hook-line-and sinker" by all the news sources out there that claim to be "conservative."
God said we were living in the greatest deception mankind has ever seen, which includes ALL news sources and ALL organizations. If it doesn't come from God's Word discard it, ignore it, or refuse to seek it out, its false knowledge, Gnosticism, an attack on the body of Christ to distract us from the gospel message.
Why are so many "Christians" ready and willing to tell the filth of the world to unbelievers but will not open their mouths to speak the truth of the gospel and the words of Christ to them.
If we have not seen the event ourselves then it is gossip and should not be repeated to anyone else.
The devil is fooling Christians into believing their life is political and that it is important to disseminate all they hear or read to everyone who will listen. As though speaking these things are warnings to them. They are not even warnings they are merely gossip.
Gossip: casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true."
If you have done research on the internet hearing gossip about people and events, then you cannot personally prove it.
2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"
Please remember, we are living in times of deep deception everywhere we look all the time. Very little can be vetted and even if you could the gossip is useless for the Kingdom of God, perhaps worse than useless, it is a distraction to the work of Christ in the lives of people who need to learn the way of salvation.
Isaiah 30:10
They say to the seers, "Stop seeing visions!" and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.
2 Timothy 1:13
Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
It is an ungodly desire to know all the evil and filth in the world.
Jude 1:17-19 "17 But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ 18 when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit."
It is an ungodly desire to engage in gossip and false news reports merely to enjoy sensationalism.
Remember the tabloids at the checkout stand as a child? Those are small potatoes compared to the tabloid news on the internet. All the gossip and false news people get is on the internet, it is full of foolishness and deception.
Perhaps it would be good to spend an entire month not researching the internet for news while spending that time reading the Word of God for His truth. Perhaps praying to know only the truth and nothing else, will help remove the addiction to internet news.
2 Timothy 2:15
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."
