The Confusion of this World

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love (I John 4)

I once saw a sign on the door of a teacher's classroom at Huntsville High School which read, "if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything."  That was a great saying.  Today, our world has so many issues on which  Christians must decide on which ones we will  take a Biblical stand.  There is in the news today much about the Bitcoin or Stable coin.  What does a Christian do?  Some say this is the beginning of the Antichrist and the end of time, and therefore, we should steer clear.  Others tells us we need to embrace this because it is the wave of the future and is harmless.  I will admit it is mind boggling.  My answer to all this is clear!  I don't have a clue!  All I can say or do in my world is trust the Lord in all things. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you."  As John tells us, we do need to test the spirits, the council, the influencers we listen to and weight them against the Holy Scriptures.  Seeking the direction of God, if the council rings true to the scriptures follow.  However, be ware, if that council raises questions about it position to the scriptures run the other way.  It is true, that my put us late for the harvest, but I would rather be late on the stock market or some position in history than be lulled away from the Lord.
