Spiritual Darkness

Today is the eve of perhaps one of the last elections of American history.

I can’t help, but take some time to reflect on the gravity of this moment. We have a tremendous crisis in our country. People have been blinded by darkness.

2 Corinthians 4:4 says:

“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”

This cannot be more evident than what we’ve seen the last four years. The media, basically a tool of unrighteousness, has been exposed to the core of their lying ways yet there are still millions of Americans who believe whatever they see on TV. So obviously, they are anti-Trump.

Now, I’m not saying that if you are a believer of Christ that you need to vote for Trump. There may be 3rd party candidates that are pretty awesome, but let’s be realistic for a moment here. Either a Democrat or a Republican will win tomorrow. And between the two, you really don’t have a choice. You can’t be Christian and vote Democrat.

You have people who literally have TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) where they flip out and go mad at the mention of Trump or at the sight of red hats that mention something like “Make America Great Again”. They’re triggered as if they have some psychological illness. I have never seen anything like this before.

In this mix are believers. Their minds are blinded, too. Perhaps not completely as they can see the beauty of Christ, but they are blinded in that they cannot separate truth from falsehood in the world around them.

I don’t claim to be know the truth about everything, but the issues that I am aware of I know something sinister is behind it. This is an enviable position because I’m going to be hard to fool. But this is not because I’m smart. It’s because I know I’m not smart. I’m leveraging the expertise and insights of others around me. The absolute worse position one can be in is to think you’re smart, but you’re not. Such a person will not be open to corrective input and will always remain in the dark.
