God is looking for men who are not afraid to think outside the box, men who are wise enough to realize that thinking within the box is often the wrong way to think.
We have all heard the maxim, "When everyone is going east, go west, my son." Mankind is afflicted with a weakness to follow the crowd. It gives them comfort and security.
Communism swept through Eastern European in the 20th century and the shaking fists of working crowds joined in. Soon the shouting crowds became millions who believed an ideology that turned all Eastern Europe and much of Asia into being dumbed down and repressed by oppressive headstrong regimes. Crowds of Germans followed Hitler's drumbeat of aggression and world dominion, slaughtering millions of Jews and others whom he deemed as expendable.
The truth is that the further we stray from God's truth, the more open to deception we become. This is the grave danger we face in 21st century America.
More coming. Be encouraged. Colin
