What garbage does the devilish world pawn off on us?

 Here's an example: In 1971 I was on an isolated Air Force assignment in Korea. I asked a missionary there if he would baptize me--I had never been baptized.

He said, "We'll see." He wanted me to be ready and to understand that baptism meant dying to my self--my own way of doing things--and to be raised to new life in Christ. He also wanted to test my knowledge of the Bible. So he drove out each week to talk to me.

One question he asked: "How many more children do you plan to have, other than the two you already have?"

"Two is enough," I replied.

"What's your reason?"

"I think that's all we can afford."

"That's a good reason. A bad reason is that there's too many people in the world. That's God's decision. Have you noticed? God sees to it that more boy babies are born after a war."

The same reasoning goes for climate change--over the centuries the earth has cooled and warmed. The world would have us pay trillions of dollars for climate change, much of which goes into the pockets of those who shout the loudest. God determines the end of the age, not climate change.

Gender confusion? God's not confused. 
In Genesis 1:27 we read, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

The devil-influenced world has given us lots of goofy ideas, such that we are all victims or victimizers; oppressors or oppressed. You and I aren't victims. We are among the most privileged in the world.

Another devilish idea is that there are no objective truths. Or that all religions lead to Heaven.

First of all, the person who told you there are no objective truths sincerely believes that what he says is an objective truth! And you know that some religions are false: cannibals, Scientology, headhunters and the Jim Jones cult (look it up).

So, I looked for an objective standard for my faith--the best documented, with thousands of eyewitnesses, with a spotless Founder who has a global appeal. There's only One who qualifies: Jesus. He said, "I am the Way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Me."

Don't tell me Jesus was just a good teacher. Either He is God the Son--who he said he was, or he's a charlatan with the same authority as a poached egg, as C.S. Lewis said in his famous book, Mere Christianity. (Read it! It's one of the best.)
