Good and Bad Influences: Upholding Faith in a Confusing World



In our fast-paced digital age, the world seems louder and busier than ever before. With an overflow of information, opinions, and beliefs bombarding us from all directions, it's no wonder that navigating what's right or wrong, especially in matters of faith, can be challenging.


Questioning the Norms: A Flood of Information

We live in a time where everyone can find 'evidence' to support their beliefs, surrounded by groups that echo these sentiments. This abundance of information often leads to confusion, blurring the lines between fact and fiction. The sheer volume of sources and conflicting viewpoints makes it increasingly difficult to discern the truth.


Impact of Media and Schools on Beliefs

Notably, younger generations are exposed to an evolving cultural narrative that challenges traditional beliefs, often questioning the existence of God. In schools and through various media platforms, there's a growing trend promoting a 'do what you want' mindset. This shift can influence young minds, leading to decisions about beliefs, identity, and future plans without enough life experience to make informed choices. It's a concern that they are heavily influenced by their online environment and the ideologies presented in educational settings.

Upholding Faith Amidst Confusion

Amidst these challenges, South Butler Assembly of God aims to be a guiding light. Our church believes in presenting facts, evidence, and reasoning while treating everyone with kindness, respect, and understanding. We understand the significance of living by the Word of God and showing the difference between genuine faith and the norms of the world.
