The Need For Discernment
Brethren, we live in perilous times, where truth is sacrificed for sensationalism and clicks. I hope you are now awake to see just how much of the media’s distortion of information has become a formidable foe, threatening the very foundations of our understanding.
False narratives masquerade as truth, misleading headlines ignite passions rather than wisdom, and fact-checking is sacrificed for expediency. Bias and agendas shape the narrative, leading us further away from the truth.
The masses are misled, division and polarization reign, trust is eroded, and the gospel is obscured. Sadly almost half of the nation still considers the news media to be completely trustworthy. Hopefully more people will have their eyes open to see journalism is not how it used to be with reporting the facts.
Friends, we must seek truth, so that we are NOT deceived. Verify information through scripture and reason. Weigh diverse perspectives and exercise critical thinking, which is a gift from God. Pray and seek God’s truth. Let us be discerning, brethren!
“Test all things; hold fast what is good.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:21
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” – 1 Peter 5:8
