Think About It

Have you noticed how easy it is to feel defeated in the world? It is tempting to look at satan and his minions and feel like we are overwhelmed by evil. The world is bad – and it is going to stay that way. We are a moral minority that is stuck with trying to keep the whole world from going up in flames – and failing miserably. While it can be tempting to believe this (and live our lives like this is the truth), one of the best kept secrets in the world today is the power of God. The devil and his disciples want us to feel outmatched and overwhelmed, but God wants us to understand His control over the world and His power in us. When John was trying to uplift Christians in the later part of the 1st Century he wrote, “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” (I John 4:4). What could happen if we really believed this? How would it reshape our thoughts about what could be done in our country today? Ho
