The No Spin Zone
Robert Dawson
2 Timothy 3:1-5, 13, 4:3-5, 3:12
When I was recovering from my concussion this summer, I had some dizziness, real dizziness, for the first time in my life. The room was spinning out of control. I was disoriented. It felt like I was going to fall off the face of the planet. It was rather frightening. I started grasping for something to hold onto, something solid. I wanted to feel grounded. I wanted to feel secure even though I was already seated on the bed at the time.
With all that is happening today, the COVID-19 crisis, ongoing riots and protests in our major cities, election chaos, the political mudslinging and fearmongering (from both sides of the aisle), along with an ideological divide in our national that is steep, wide and emotionally palpable, concerns over what the future is going to look like, for us and our children, it can leave our heads spinning and our hearts worried.
Trying to make sense of it all is a daunting task. There is so much going on, it's hard to keep up with. It's hard to make sense of because there is so much information out there. Conflicting reports and soundbites collide in our brains. We simply want truth but it's hard to find because everyone is spinning the narratives to promote their particular worldview and produce their desired outcomes. They spin the facts to fit their ideological underpinnings. There is so much information, so much emotion, it can make your head spin and leave you groping for something solid and stable to hold onto, and that can be a sickening feeling.
I want to direct you to some basic biblical truths that you can hold onto, truths that will keep you grounded and guide you. They will be very familiar to our FBCLP family but let's not allow our familiarity with these truths drain them of their importance and ability to keep us grounded both corporately and individually. They are our Core Values here at FBCLP.
