The church has been caught watching. The church has been misdirected and found not only unable to think biblically but it has been captured by deceitful philosophies wrapped in semi biblical sayings watered down by misinterpretation and misapplication. We find ourselves not only being directed by those who do evil, we are not even able to realize what they are doing. What is happening to us is that we do not know what is happening to us. And that is what is happening to us.
False prophets, false teachers with false ideas, have always been in every culture and desire to infiltrate the church. We are beginning to realize what Richard Weaver meant when he wrote his prescient book “Ideas Have Consequences” in 1943. We are beginning to experience the constriction of a corrupt culture upon the church. It will get worse.
We who are the church are to be people of the truth. We are to be the pillar of the truth, the salt and the light to a culture gone mad. (What else do you call the idea of transgender but madness created by cultural confusion.) We must be lovers of the truth as we live in the land of the liars. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn reminds us “The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie.”
Although we are watching the erosion of social norms in the decay of political accountability, we must not allow ourselves to be misdirected from the truth. Jesus’ prayer is poignant; “Father, sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.”
Are you a person of His word?
Serving Him with you, until He comes for us.
