Sometimes it’s hard to stomach mainstream news channels. Lots of foundationless accusations, plenty of spinning the truth to serve a godless agenda, all replete with bad logic.
Then I read this. It’s the exact same tone as the news today.
“And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”” Luke 23:2 ESV
It smells the same as Satan in the garden. Accusation. Half truths. Selfish agenda. No fear of God.
It makes me less stressed reading the headlines, because it’s not a new thing, not a ‘crisis.’
How should a godly person respond? With a view toward the long term.
“For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. They are not in trouble as others are; they are not stricken like the rest of mankind. But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task, until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end.” Psalm 73:3, 5, 16-17 ESV
“Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.” Psalm 37:1-2, 5, 10-11 ESV
