There is an evil I have observed under the sun and I feel that I must address it at this time. The demons have manipulated us into doing something absolutely crazy. Most of us are doing it over and over again, day after day. We are hard at work doing damage to our own souls and know it not. We are committing a sin and not even recognizing that it is a sinful thing to do. It’s hard to repent when you don’t even know you’ve sinned. This is another sign of moral insanity.
This is what the demons have taught us to do. Can you hear them laughing in the background? They have taught us to spend too much time absorbed with current events as opposed to eternal things. And they have taught us that the proper response to a news broadcast is worry when it should be prayer.
“Do not be anxious about anything.” NIV
“Don’t worry about anything.” NLT
“Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray.” The Message (Phil. 4:6)
I don’t want to overwhelm you with my very limited memory of my decades ago study of New Testament Greek, but in the original language the verb tense in the imperative. That means this is a command, not simply good advice. And to fail to obey a command is to sin. We’ve got to stop being anxious and fretting about current events.
