Ungodly Counsel

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Regardless of the country in which you live, if you watch secular news, you are submitting yourself to anti-Christian mind control and persuasion.  They will seek to exploit your natural weakness, the old Adam, by stirring up envy, strife, promiscuity, perversion, disrespect, cynicism, doubt, anger, covetousness, self-righteousness, and such things.

What is amazing is that, even after story after story is shown to be false, people still give some level of credence to the mainstream media.  There are alternatives. 

If you regularly submit yourself to the influence of the ungodly, you may begin to take on the opinions of the ungodly.  You may begin to believe in at least some of the precepts of liberalism.  You may begin to have trouble breaking out of naturalism, rationalism, materialism, or other things that are contrary to Christ.

The anti-Christ forces are skilled at using Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques and other methods of persuasion to try to control your thoughts. And the likelihood is that you don’t even know that Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques exist. You don’t even realize what they are doing to you or the extent to which you have submitted to them. Even as it is true that you cannot stand in the presence of God without being changed, so it is true that you cannot sit under the counsel of these ungodly without being changed.

Add to this the fact that Christians world-wide are increasingly addicted to entertainment. The news programs are only part of the entertainment industry that is used by anti-Christians to manipulate. With few exceptions, what you submit yourself to on the media is designed to control your attitudes and thoughts: print media, movies, TV shows, comedies shows, stand-up comedy routines, documentaries, educational programs, and the list could go on.  Even the search engine, Google, is a liberal organization.

Christians tend to become carpenters, engineers, stay-at-home moms, chemists, and the like. Radical anti-Christians, especially since the 1960s, tend to go into professions where they can have political influence. Anti-Christians tend to go into careers where they can influence society; they become lawyers, judges, news professionals, actors, teachers or professors, high-level government workers, and the like. Anti-Christians tend to move into positions of control in major corporations and non-profit organizations. Where Christians have avoided showing favoritism to other Christians in the job market, anti-Christians actively network to help other anti-Christians move into positions of power and influence.

Christians tend to be looking toward a higher hope. For anti-Christians, their hope-so hope is based on the natural and the material.  For anti-Christians, the political is an integral part of their religion.  They will even seek to take over Christian organizations.  Christianity Today is a magazine and web site that is continually swayed by their liberal employees.  Many denominations are going so far toward liberalism that they have become disconnected from the Head, Jesus Christ.

If you watch secular news or entertainment, you are submitting yourself to anti-Christian mind control and persuasion.  The same is true of secular education.What would happen if Christians would spend their time in prayer, witnessing, Bible-reading, meditating on the Word, and praise of God rather than spending their time submitting themselves to worldly counselors?

If there ever were a group of people who are primarily ungodly it is the members of the News media elite and hollywood . . . The vast majority are not followers of Jesus Christ and have no relationship with Him.  Most of them consider themselves to be sources of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.  They use the word, intellectual, to describe themselves.

(Media Research Center) "Too often, we wear liberalism on our sleeve and are intolerant of other lifestyles and opinions," an editor working for the Washington Post's Sunday "Book World" section charged in a contribution to a daily internal critique of the newspaper quoted by Howard Kurtz on Monday. Marie Arana disclosed that "if you work here, you must be one of us. You must be liberal, progressive . . .  http://www.mrc.org/cyberalerts/2005/cyb20051004.asp

One of the main tenets of Post Modernism, the new Liberal doctrine, is message control.  Under post-modernism, there are no absolutes; truth not only doesn’t matter, but, under post modernism, truth does not exist. This concept is also known as relativism--the opposite of fundamentalism. Liberals love to say, "Everything is relative." If everything were relative, then truth doesn’t exist and life is about winning. And that is exactly where the trail ends for the Liberal religion. The meaning of life is winning. The purpose of life is getting what you want, pleasure, money, entertainment, fun, recognition, fame and fortune. And that is where message control enters in.

message control is essential to winning. If the liberals are going to win, they must control all communication. Al Gore made a terrible mistake when he "invented the Internet," but Liberals are struggling to bring the Internet under liberal control so they can give the message of liberalism as the only message.

Since the 1960s, the liberals have made hugh sacrifices and dominate every form of communication.  If there is a method of communication, the liberals control it or are trying to gain control of it.  There are some areas where liberals are, for various reasons, having trouble gaining control and these are discussed later in this article.

The schools were a major target for liberals and they have spent a huge amount of effort coercing Christians and other non-liberals out of education.   They literally drive non-liberal teachers from the schools and universities to control what children will be taught.

Hollywood has made every effort to get rid of any non-liberal actor, director, or other major player.  The effort is to have only liberal plays, movies, dramas, comedies, and documentaries.  The entertainment industry is an area where the liberals have a strangle-hold, and how they reacted in anger to a movie that depicted Christ with respect! 

The entertainment angle is particularly deceptive, because even the "nice" shows have a theme, a deep liberal theme.  Every drama becomes a chance to make use of the natural trance state of TV to sell some Liberal point. Liberals learned long ago that there are many of their ideas that just don’t work in real life. Not to worry, write a play or TV script. In the land of make-believe anything can work. Fiction is great for proving liberal points that could be proven in no other way. And, fortunately for the liberals, American Christians are addicted to entertainment.  Those who are wise should take warning.

The music industry has proven to be a powerful persuader.  Music itself can carry the liberal message without words.  In fact, much of what is called Christian Music is actually new age, if not in word, in spirit.

Most of the book publishers and book reviewers are liberals, so a non-liberal book will be ignored.

The early effort to gain control of the scientific community, scientific journals, etc. has paid off well for liberals, but it has greatly compromised the integrity of what is called "science."  Now, any non-liberal paper is routinely screened out.  Non-liberal teachers are removed from universities, and, increasingly, college degrees are merely certificates of political correctness held by individuals who have been educated into ignorance.  Evolutionism and global warming are sold as if they had evidence, which they do not.

The news media was an obvious area where liberals gained control quickly and now control virtually all major media outlets: TV, Newspapers, Magazines with few exceptions.  The news industry has been very successful in drumming out any non-liberals.  ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS, PBS, The New York Times, and literally every major news source other than Fox News is controlled by the Left wing and will get rid of any non-liberals. Fox is pretty much a mix of Liberals and non-liberals and the liberals are angry that Fox has let non-liberals work in the industry.  Liberals are trying to do something about Fox because they want no non-liberals reporting the news.

The news media has been trading credibility against the opportunity to persuade the public and, so, gain political power. The 2004 election almost put Dan Rather and others out of business. Only about 30% of all people believe they are getting unbiased news from these liberal news sources, but most liberals think that the news media elite are unbiased.

As the Communists did in Russia, the American liberals know that they need to have absolute control of communication. As the Communists in China will kill a woman for handing out Bibles in the market place, so the liberals in America know that they need to hold tight message control.  Much of the Liberal so-called election reform has actually been an attempt to muzzle all non-liberals.  Liberals have open minds, but only to liberal ideas.

There are a few lines of communication that are still open, but liberals are working to close them up.  Radio talk shows have been a great opportunity for non-liberals to have at least some voice, and many non-liberals now get all their news from talk radio.

Accusations that are totally unfounded are presented as if they had credibility, but only if those accusations are against a Christian or even any who seem to be non-liberal.  When as many as three-hundred witnesses attest to something, it is carefully screened from the news as not newsworthy, because it is something that would blow the whistle on liberalism.  Wild claims and liberal mantras are carried around as if they were news and as if they were proof of liberal ideas.  Information is censored if it shows how silly liberalism really is.  Then, enormous effort is put forth to try to say that the liberal news media is not liberal.  Since, to these liberals, absolutism is a terrible thing, these types of misrepresentation are just part of playing the game.  Predictably, Christians are listening to these empty voices less as they come to understand the intent and purpose of the news casts.

Another source for non-liberal news has been the Internet with great news services such as MRC.org, ICR.org, NewsMax.com, and CNSNews.com.  On the internet, you get your news faster, more to the point, and when you want it.  And you don't have to listen to lies.

Email has been another great source, although it is easy for Liberals to put out false emails that sound credible in order to make it harder to discern truth from fiction. In addition, websites that are supposed to be watch dog organizations, like snopes.com, can tend to lean left and just slightly twist their analysis, making themselves like CNN and CBS.

So, beware of worldly counselors.
