In our time the media is the biggest instrument of corrupted values. It fills your heart, and mind all kind fears and dreams in the name of economic rise, and so called christianic programs are mostly as bad as the common media.

There is very little holiness anymore left in this world.

Cover yourself from the world, so that it may not corrupts you.

Many who use social media use the tools of antichrist , and then the ideas of globalism devalue religion as a divisive obstacle , as you see today its distaste for racism and sexism and religion..........Best to hold to the rules of Christ , and then lean of the Lord who will protect His

I honestly do not witness anything anti christian. What i do see is a absolute rejection of what christianity as become. Speaking for myself, i woke up to what i had become through years of believing erroneous ancient beliefs and rejected what i had become by those erroneous ancient beliefs.

I understand what you are saying. Media, friends, neighbors ya gotta put on your
armor each morning. Armor of love and clarity and centeredness ..rooted in whatever you
feel like saying ...Christ, God, goodness, kindness, your priorities hopefully...to be strong in
the Presence of God all around and in you....another way to put it for some.

The problem today is, a person cannot be a model secular citizen and a faithful christian at the same time, its just not possible in the type of society we live in and I do not think it got this way by accident, I think alot of planning went into ensuring things would turn out like they have.

Jesus warned his faithful, they would be hated, persecuted, tortured, imprisoned, etc all because of his name, in order to be hated so bad by the secular world, this would mean christians are either saying or doing things most people do not like or agree with, and also means they must be committing crimes in order to be arrested.

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no Law.…

Self-righteousness is not mentioned at all.

Got to disagree about the media. Hey, if they expose and document El Trump's crimes, they can't be too bad. I see very little promotion of Christianity in the media, but have no problem with that. There's lots of holiness in the world. Even in the US; maybe you're not seeing it because you're not going to the optimal places to find it. If you sit in your house and scowl and frown, you're not going to find anything but your own bitterness.

Maybe instead of being cynical and looking for fault and blame, starting looking at the glass "half full", find the good that's out there, and do your part to cultivate it. We certainly don't need any more whiners, bellyachers, and poo-pooers.

You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution. Choose this day which path you'll take
