In the world we live in, can we believe everything we hear or read?
Are we being manipulated by some "movement" to believe what they want us to believe?
I know some people here aren't riligous and some are not christian, the passages here are just a bonus for those who are.
QUOTE
IN HIS BOOK Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business,
Neil Postman warns us of the danger of a world of information overload...
He reminds us of a chilling futuristic vision—Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, which
describes a world thoroughly flooded with information. But that data is manipulated
so that none of it has any significance.
A glance at the Internet or a magazine rack hints that we are living in just such a
culture. We're drowning in a sea of information often marketed by the unscrupulous.
We need discernment to choose wisely whom we will listen to.
In John 6, Jesus delivered His "I am the bread of life" message (v.35). It was a
sermon so controversial that, at its conclusion, many of His followers went away
and stopped following Him (v.66). They chose to stop listening to the voice of
Christ. When Jesus challenged His disciples as to whether they would also walk
away, Peter wisely responded, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of
eternal life" (v.68).
In a world swamped with confusing and contradictory information, we can, like
Peter, turn to Christ for wisdom. He cuts through the words of confusion with
words of life. (Bill Crowder)
KneEmail: Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” But Simon
Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the
living God” (John 6:67-69).
