Confusion

Have you noticed all the confusion in the airwaves today?

Isaiah 9:16 - For those who guide this people are leading them astray;  and those who are guided by them are brought to confusion.

People don’t know who they are, they speculate about who you are, and they make slanderous statements about those who do seem to know who they are.

1 John 4:5-6 - They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.  We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Those who seek to share the truth about God are lambasted by those who think they should be able to do whatever they want to do, whether there is a God, or not.  Truth is now a bad word, because people think that they can make up their own truth and that everyone else should agree with them.

Romans 1:25 - For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator,…

There is an identity confusion which has swept across our country, leading people to think they can be whoever they want to be at the moment.  Then, they expect everyone else to see them as they see themselves, and they get upset if we don’t agree with them.  Their identity has more to do with feelings than with physical or mental characteristics.

1 John 4:14-15 - We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.  Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

There is a lack of knowledge about Who God is, so people feel free to worship whatever idol they choose, and they disregard the value of human life.

1 John 4:16 - We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

The world is operating according to the wisdom of the senses, instead of the wisdom of God, and no one is able to make good decisions, because they can only think of themselves.

1 John 4:9 - By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.

Finding our own identity in Christ, is the only answer to this confusion.

1 Corinthians 14:33 - for God is not a God of confusion but of peace,…

1 Peter 2:24 - …and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness;
