In a day with so much fake news, it's important to remember propaganda has been around a long time.
It actually goes way back to the Garden of Eden when the serpent misled Adam and Eve through the cunning of the father of lies, Satan.
Be aware too... the purpose of propaganda is pretty straightforward:
It's to make you doubt and become fearful... so you would ultimately believe your resistance is futile, leading you to give way to evil trends around you.
But we shouldn't fall for such deception.
Though propaganda may seem invincible, it's usually built on a weak foundation.
For example...
When the Assyrian King Sennacherib used his propaganda machine against Judah, it made King Hezekiah afraid. But soon the Lord brought an end to Sennacherib and his army perished, and the Assyrian Empire fell not long after (2 Kings 18-19).
So don't be intimidated by the propaganda of our own day.
Stay the course where the Lord has called you.
Love the truth, do what's right, and trust God.
Do not fret because of evildoers,
Be not envious toward wrongdoers.
For they will wither quickly like the grass
And fade like the green herb.
Trust in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
(Ps.37:1-3)
