There is something in the Christian community that does not receive enough attention. That something is deception. For many, it is enough to go to church. It is enough to participate in church programs. In reality, is it enough? A common theme throughout scripture is deception. Because of the influence of satan, we cannot underestimate the effects of deception. Often the things we believe to be true are not and those things that appear ridiculous can absolutely be true.
We are very close to an election. Our country is very divided. At this point things do not look promising for a great future as one side will be outraged if it loses either way. Pray for discernment. Ask to not be deceived. Look at the evidence before you and then look again. Through al of this season do not fear. Keep your mind centered on God’s Word. Memorize it in your heart. It is your very best tool to fight deception.
