DON’T BE DISTRACTED!

 

DON’T BE DISTRACTED! All the lies of the White Horseman have a common purpose: to distract people from the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The great Liar himself, Satan, doesn’t care what you believe as long as you stay away from Jesus. And his strategy is working because even devout Christians have been derailed from what’s important: they’ve been sucked into the drama of our time. Don't assume you hold the real truth in your hands, because in an age of countless lies none of us can be sure of that. We are all vulnerable to the prevailing deceptions. JESUS TOLD US WHAT WE MUST DO: MARK 12.29 Jesus answered, “The greatest commandment is, ‘Hear, oh people, the Lord our God, the Lord is one: 12.30 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. 12.31 The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”   If we seek to obey those two commandments, Jesus promises that we will not stray far from truth. This is because Jesus himself is the source of truth: JOHN 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life." THE END TIMES REBELLION 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for the Lord Jesus Christ will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.  NIV Bible Deception and rebellion play off each other. In the Garden of Eden, Eve was deceived and so she rebelled against God’s instructions. In 2 Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul refers to the end times deception as the “rebellion.” And the great rebellion of mankind will be hand-in-hand with the rise of the Antichrist.
