Navigating through Perilious Currents!

The church today must navigate through numerous perilous currents! The politics and culture of many nations is no longer functioning from a moral or righteous Christian foundation –which holds people to what is good, honorable, and true - and helps stabilize society. 

 Too many people are submitting to the narratives of cultural Marxism, gender fluidity, and various other godless and Antichrist systems! The fruit of these Great Lies and clever deceptions is a flood of evil behavior, too often leading to horrific death.

 So, you say, how do you claim to know what’s true? What’s better for society?

The easiest way is to see the fruit- is the behavior and words they use - good?

Does it produce life, joy, peace, stability, kindness - consistently?

 Or does it produce fear, hatred, death, anxiety, confusion - consistently?

 I think we see the fruit of fear and hatred going on more than the fruit of righteousness peace and joy- which comes from believing and doing what God’s word says.

 Jesus says, Satan is the father of lies … he always hates the truth because there is no truth in him - (John 8:44). Lies and deception is natural for Satan. He lives to counterfeit everything about God. Satan hates God. Satan hates God’s people.

The opposite of lies is truth – Which God promises, for He cannot Lie!  

“So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.” (Heb.6:18)

Trust God.

Reject the lies.

Grow strong in The Word and secure a stable foundation - which others may take strength from to overcome the perilous currents in today’s culture.  

See you on the battlefield!
