Lack of Discernment

There is so little discernment among Americans, including those who are Christians. Most Americans are easy prey for those who know how to manipulate with key words and phrases that play on emotions, gender, etc. Don’t you realize that manipulators study research on how to control people with the way things are said, written and portrayed? They are masters at playing on the sensibilities of people.

The Bible warns of these things and states that in the last days there is a danger of even the elect being deceived. Remember that quite often things are not what they seem, but are always what they are. Christians must depend on the Holy Spirit to survive walking through the mine fields of lies, deceptions and half truths.  We live in the time when many will not endure truth but will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables (2 Timothy 4: 3, 4) Draw near to God, pray and study the Word like never before.
