In the sermon titled "Fake News," Kent Clark addresses the troubling influences of deception and witchcraft within contemporary society, asserting that what is commonly perceived as news is often a manifestation of spiritual warfare. He argues that the media is complicit in spreading falsehoods that distract from the truth of Scripture and the reality of Christ’s sovereignty. Several Scripture references are employed, including 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11, which illustrates the danger of loving falsehood over the truth, and Romans 3:4, which emphasizes God's truth amid human deceit. The practical significance lies in the call for believers to discern the truth and steadfastly uphold biblical principles against the backdrop of societal deception, aligning with Reformed theology’s emphasis on the authority of Scripture and the necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit in understanding and embracing the truth of the Gospel.
“We're living in a world where it's not gray anymore. It's black or white. Choose you this day whom you will serve.”
“If it were possible, the very elect would be deceived. You're going to see things you've never seen before in your lifetime.”
“God shall send them strong delusions that they might be damned. It's a dangerous thing not to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.”
“You are dead in sins and trespasses and must be quickened by the Holy Spirit of God and given life and regenerated. You must be born again.”
The Bible emphasizes the importance of loving the truth and warns against strong delusions for those who reject it.
