Fight, Flight, Or Faith
The world wants to scare you. The ultimate spook is Satan himself. God says, “Fear thou not” (Isaiah 41:10). Satan says, “Yes, but what about China, Russia, and North Korea? What about the struggles of today’s young people? What about socialism’s rise in popularity? What about the moral freefall of the nations? What about the loss of basic freedoms in Europe? Is that on its way to America? What about the terrorist threat?” Then the devil innocently adds, “I’m just asking questions.” But Satan isn’t innocent, and he is, according to Jesus, “the prince of this world” (John 12:31). He makes fearmongering profitable. Clicks are the coin of the realm on the internet, especially on social media. There are lots of ploys to induce clicks. One of the most common is fear.
