In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
- Genesis 1:1
“Is there any good news?” That was a text a friend sent me a few months back. My answer to him was something like, “not really.”
As a Christian, I know full well that there is good news in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that all who believe in him are justified and accepted as righteous in the sight of God. That promise never changes no matter what the headlines say.
But if we look strictly at the headlines concerning the events of the day, there has been very little good news at all for nearly a year and a half. In truth, the bad news has been pouring in for a long time, but it seems to have gone next level since early 2020.
The Covid hoax – I say hoax not in the sense that no one died of Covid-19, but in the sense that the wildly overstated danger of this disease was used to crush political, economic and religious liberty in what appears to be a world-wide orchestrated event to centralize power among the globalist elite – the BLM hoax – we’ve been lectured for what seems like forever that America is hopelessly racist and that racist police unfairly target black Americans, but there is little evidence to support these statements and much to contradict them; yes, black Americans have higher rates of incarceration than other groups but that is because of the uncomfortable fact that they commit a wildly disproportionate amount of violent crime – and the 2020 election hoax – we were told in no uncertain terms that the 2020 presidential election was the most secure in history, while at the same time anyone who pointed out glaring irregularities in the election was dismisses as a QAnon conspiracy theorist and deplatformed from social media – all worked together to make 2020 a uniquely depressing year for those of us who lover liberty and truth.
And the knock-on effects of those hoaxes are still with us in 2021 and likely will continue to be with us in the foreseeable future.
At the very least, these hoaxes are examples of false witness bearing, a violation of the ninth commandment. Which law, although not formally committed to writing at the time of the events in Genesis 1-11, was nevertheless in effect.
The three hoaxes listed above are certainly not the only hoaxes Americans are subjected to daily. We must not omit the transgender hoax in which we taught to accept that men really can become women and women really can become men. And if you don’t believe it, well, very bad things are in store for you.
And we’re not yet done with hoaxes. As if all the above weren’t enough, now the major news networks are pushing UFO’s. It’s almost as if a there’s a concerted effort to distract people.
