Isaiah 17:13 NIV They'll huff. They'll puff. They’ll blow really hard only to accomplish nothing whatsoever. They'll make a massive scene and yell obscenities and call names and issue threats and do whatever it takes to give off this illusion of power and control that terrifies us into bending to their will and caving to their pressure. But ultimately, all the scare tactics this world may resort to in order to deny God and encourage us to let go of our faith are only successful if we buy tickets to the show. Sadly, that’s exactly what we’ve done. We've entertained the nonsense. We've believed that this world has some sort of power to which we cannot stand against. We've given more gravity to the noise and anger of this warped society than we have to that of our Father. We've been lied to and we've bought it hook, line, and sinker. And I honestly think that's why finding those who will stand up against the wickedness in this place are becoming so rare...
