I was listening to Alistair Begg. Yes, again. He was sharing that to his knowledge there is not one believer in the news media standing up and declaring the cause of Christ. He did not say there were no believers, just that they were not making a clear statement.
I don’t know why but that made me think about how rampant porn and such is everywhere you turn. It is getting to the point where dissipation is on auto-pilot. Satan does not have to push very hard any more. Simple things like the internet are doing his work for him. Once the seed is planted tendencies grow on their own. Think of the ads you see when you are on line. They start with a mild attraction and you bite. Then you click on something just a little further down the path. Then you click again. If we don’t stop clicking, Satan has us. Even if you stop the cookies have been imbedded and you will keep getting those types of ads. The cookies planted by business are a perfect tool for Satan to distracted us with the subtle desires of our hearts. He just sits back and laughs. It is kind of like a spiritual Ponzi Scheme.
Social pressure works the same way. He spends his time working on a more subtle level: getting young girls to dress like a rock star, getting older girls to dress in provocative ways. Getting the boys interested and then pulled into lust. It doesn’t start off with hard core porn but by looking out the corner of our eye.
An old saying is that “mighty oaks out of acorns grow”. The same procedure can produce a yard full of dandelions.
