​Simple Dreams​

“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
For scorners delight in their scorning,
And fools hate knowledge.  Proverbs 1:22

Or should that be, the Dreams of a Simpleton? Okay, so I had that dream last night where I knew a celebrity as a friend. Sort of an alien situation with me to be sure. The scary part of the dream came after I tossed her car keys to her and she left with her boyfriend. I went back into the house and found that the trolls and her fans had already found me on social media. Anyone who has ever wandered down to the comments section of any celebrity news knows the terror of which I speak. Rare is the person who would want all that vitriol pointed at him/herself!

Most of us, perhaps even all of us who read this message today live in a state of modern anonymity. We are online, but not online sensations. The proverb has Wisdom wondering how long we will love simplicity. This is that state of being too unaware of the dangers lurking in the world, especially the online world these days. Much of the opinion making, shifting, leveraging, and so on was done online in the past couple of presidential elections, and gradually we are becoming more aware of it. And that is the more obvious part of the online danger. Every day we are hit with stuff from those same scorners and fools trying to make us doubt our faith in Jesus. Online is a large portion of the frontlines in the battle between Christ and the world powers, and the battle is for your mind and mine. We dare not remain simple in this age!

Before I ramble on forever... place your faith in Jesus today!
