Doubt Wars

The Apos­tle Paul was right. We do not fight against flesh and blood but against spir­i­tual forces. Yesterday’s air­line ter­ror­ist was a spoiled kid with nihilism in his soul. Most of us would have never sus­pected him. He was well edu­cated and lived in a multi-million dol­lar dwelling. Some reli­gions prize life; some wor­ship death. Both are right under our nose. To find the full truth about the sit­u­a­tion means con­sult­ing with for­eign news firms. The ones here are too busy try­ing to spin the story one direc­tion or the other. We live in an ocean of lies — from the sub­tle to the glar­ingly obvious.

I am no fool. Though I play the vil­lage idiot and the town court jester, I take notes. Cyn­i­cism and selec­tive infor­ma­tion are eat­ing us alive. News sources have become a house of mir­rors. Dis­cern­ment is now a mat­ter of san­ity or insan­ity — life or death. I still believe in the com­mon sense of the aver­age per­son. The “forces that be” have yet to com­pletely destroy the eyes and ears of the every­day per­son. Pray for her and him. Pray for us all.

It is becom­ing more and more dif­fi­cult to find the real among the imag­ined. It is even harder to find pos­i­tive faith in the grow­ing jun­gle of doubt. Watch out for the agen­das that enslave in the guise of lib­er­a­tion. It is the old­est trick in the book. It is the same bill of goods sold to Adam and Eve by the Tempter.

The Camelot years of Christ and Cul­ture are long gone. The bat­tle is on. Today is a good day to sharpen your per­cep­tion sword. You are going to need it for this week…and the next…and the next. The bat­tle will still be rag­ing long after you are gone from this planet. Fight your part of the bat­tle now.
