Gaslighting

Gaslighting is defined as "psychologically manipulating someone over a period of time." Examples of gaslighting would be something like "our border is secure" or "the president just had a bad day."

Of course, KJP had to be the featured picture for today's story about gaslighting. She does it so well.

These lies, repeated over and over again, become truths in the minds of the gullible.

Our best weapon against gaslighting is called discernment - doing our own investigating to find out whether or not something is true.

We need to use discernment in our daily conversations, while scrolling through social media, and even while sitting in a church pew.

Jesus warned us about false teachers.

"Watch out that no one deceives you." - Matthew 24:4

Jesus knew that false teachers would come. And He said that it would be a sign of His coming and "the end of the age."

When the Berean Jews heard the disciple's teachings, they went home and examined the scriptures to see if they were true and the disciples commended them for it.

That is the key. We must constantly be going through the Bible, imprinting its truth on our hearts, so that when we hear some strange teaching or story, we will recognize it for what it is. A lie.

It's a sad thing when our government lies to its people. It's even worse when lies and half-truths come from the pulpit. Don't trust anyone. Like Jesus said, "There is no one good. No, not one."

For as good as Karine is at gaslighting reporters and the American people, there is still someone better. Her boss. No, not Joe. Although he too is pretty good. I'm talking about Satan.

"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." - John 8:44

Know the truth. Live the truth. Speak the truth.
