Hebrews 12:26-29
He hath promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.” And this word, “Yet once more,” signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.
Do not read the Bible in light of your newsfeed. Read your newsfeed by the light of the Bible.
Do not be one of the things that are shaken. It is easy to look around and read that into the Bible and much harder to read your Bible before you look around. But if you do, you will stand firm and the evil day won’t rock your world because it won’t depend on how you feel about the news cycle, but on what you know about the Good News. What you read in the Word should stir you to do something about what you see in the world. Christians ought to be a photo-negative of James Bond's favorite drink — stirred, not shaken.
Ephesians 6:10-14
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth
