It's just plain old chilly today. I actually considered firing up the woodburner. However, we have a long winter in front of us. We've got a good start on this winter's firewood. But nowhere near enough for the whole season. A better start than last winter, but much to get yet. So I've got the little space heater on and we'll make due.
So I have bible study tonight. Which I really look forward to each week. We're moving through 1 John. On my last post, I went through 1 Jn. 2:12-17. So we'll pick up in vs. 18. "...and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared..." When I was a kid, the study of the book of Revelation was in. Revelation was hip to read and understand. People would get all excited about who the antichrist might be. The rebellious thing was to write 666 on your notebooks or on your hand. The interesting thing is that there are so many people in our culture that are leading people away into destruction. Which entertainers are causing damage through what they support and try to influence? Are they the antichrist? No, but are they types of antichrists? If they are leading people away from God, then yes. Verse 22 says, "Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son." I would say that our entertainment industry is full of antichrists. They are about themselves and advancing mankind above God.
Who do you allow to influence you? What clothes do you need to wear? Who do you wait to listen to to find out what is hip? Are classmates antichrists to you? Coworkers? Actors/actresses? Athletes?
Time to get busy. Lots to do, little time to do it in! Have a great day, all!
