Is the world going to know peace as the word "peace" itself is defined? I guess not. The Bible reminds us that true and lasting peace is not established merely by human effort but is found in God. Jesus Himself said, "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you" (John 14:27). As long as humanity continues to reject God's ways, the peace that the world longs for will remain elusive. Scripture also warns that in the last days people will speak of peace while living in spiritual darkness (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Today, everything we consume—from water, fruits, vegetables, and especially meat—has all been tempered with. Whether physically, morally, or spiritually, we are living in an age that calls for discernment. The apostle Paul reminds us to "prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21). As believers, we should be mindful not only of what enters our bodies but also of what enters our hearts and minds. Nowadays, it's not safe even to be a vegetarian. And the enemy is very clever; he targets the brain, the driver's seat of the human body. When people's reasoning capacity has been tempered with, they get tired quickly with information, reports, or teaching—including preaching. This reflects the warning of Scripture that a time would come when people "will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears" (2 Timothy 4:3-4). The battlefield has always been the mind (Romans 12:2), because whatever captures the mind eventually shapes the life. Now people just want to laugh and laugh because their minds have been slowly smothered and congested. You know that one of the signs of a person who is losing sound judgment is that he no longer pays attention to explanation and laughs without understanding the seriousness of what is happening. The Bible teaches that there is "a time to weep, and a time to laugh" (Ecclesiastes 3:4). Yet we are living in a generation where even serious matters are often turned into entertainment. People can laugh at what should make them mourn, celebrate what should make them repent, and overlook what once would have awakened their conscience. This reflects Isaiah's warning: "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil" (Isaiah 5:20). Because of that, there will be less sanity in families, churches, communities, and nations. Violence will be celebrated, and the rule of the jungle will become the order of the day. Jesus warned that because iniquity would abound, the love of many would grow cold (Matthew 24:12). When hearts become hardened, compassion disappears, justice is ignored, and selfishness becomes the culture. Many people today are deeply concerned about the changes taking place in society and the direction the world is taking. Whatever the source of these changes may be, the Bible consistently calls believers not to be overcome by fear but to exercise spiritual discernment. "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God" (1 John 4:1). Our greatest protection is not speculation but abiding in Christ, walking in truth, and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our understanding. Have you realized that today it's becoming hard for some people to write, to read, or even to listen, even when what is being said could be the very solution they have been looking for? This is why we must pray for renewed minds and attentive hearts. Jesus repeatedly said, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear" (Matthew 11:15). Spiritual hearing is a gift that must be guarded and cultivated. Well, let's end here. Today maybe I will come up with Part Two because what I wanted to say now is too heavy for me. But one thing is certain: the answer is not panic but intimacy with God. The reality we are living in reminds us that things are not getting any better in the flesh unless God enables us to live more in the Spirit, where we walk with Him, hear His voice, and are led by His wisdom. As Galatians 5:16 declares, "Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." In times of confusion, our greatest safety is not merely knowing what is happening around us, but knowing the One who sits above it all.
