Truth Erosion Produces Trust Implosion
Millennials have a unique way of seeing things and thinking about things. As with most things this is sometimes good and sometimes bad. The issue is not only what we think about, but how we think about anything.
As Shakespeare said; "Things are neither right nor wrong but thinking makes them so." That is wrong thinking! Some things are right and other things are wrong. The question is, how do we determine which is which?
As Christians we look to the inspired word of God, the Bible, the sacred scriptures, to guide our thinking and living.
But make no mistake, Satan seeks to confuse the saint by contorting the scripture. This is what the serpent did in the garden of Eden, challenging God's word and reinterpreting its meaning.
Mark it well, from the beginning the devil desired to distort and deform the truth of God's word. The apostle Paul reminds us of this truth in his day and for our day as he writes in Ephesians 4:14; "As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming..."
Notice the potential danger of being tossed and carried about by the wind and waves of false doctrine. This is done by men who are tricky, crafty, deceitful and scheming in their methods.
Forewarned is to be forearmed. We must be people of the Book. We must not traffic in the secular and trifle with the sacred. Are you being blown about by the messengers and the message of the media? Are you confused as to how we are to live in this secularized culture?
Let me suggest you feed upon and digest Psalm 119 this week.
Serving Him with you
Until He comes for us,
