The Danger of Entertaining Fear Porn

If you take a walk down the dark, gloomy halls of Youtube's corridor of  doomsday videos, what you see is that the public seems to have this insatiable appetite for quote "breaking news" unquote concerning something that prey's on peoples fears to get views. 

We have to look more carefully to find a video from a Christian perspective that is meant to instill encouragement in us as we move closer to our Lord's return. With everything we see going on around us these days, people will find such fear porn almost irrisistable, like a moth drawn to a flame.  But what are we really learning from this if it's just little more than sirens of alarm going off telling us that the sky is falling, without any mention of a new age dawing?

I mean, isn't that what it's all supposed to be about? Awakening one another to those things to come is fine and dandy. But it seems like this side of Youtube has just become a festering mess of gloom and doom with little mention of how we should be excited with anticipation of those things to come which have nothing to do with destruction, which parallel our Lord's words to not let our hearts be troubled, or to fear not, and to encourage one another as we see the day drawing near. Things which do more than just strengthen and settle us. But give us such hope in our Deliverer that we become powerfully energized to help others do the same. 

My point here is that, if we are not careful, we can become so enticed and drawn in by the enormous cyclone of information warning us of things we must avoid, or worse, dangers we cannot avert, that our minds and our spirits become trapped inside a bubble of fear and dread, when God's desire for us is nothing of the sort.

God's will for us in our lives has always been the same. To give thanks in all things.

To remain still, trusting in Him despite whatever storms are raging around us, or whatever uncertainties loom over the near horizon. The peace he gave us was not the peace the world knows. And when it comes to all these fears and uncertainties, we are certainly not to have our hope grounded in the solutions the world holds.
 
Hard breaking, urgent, news alerts, with dire warnings, and this after rambling on for an hour or more flooding the timeline of their editor with a barage of video clips of death and destruction. Closing in the end with nothing more than a heads up, which is where they seem best to leave it.
​
God forbid we do our brothers and sisters for whom Christ died such an impersonal service. If I can't offer anymore than this I should quit. Every opportunity God gives us in the precious few days he has seen fit to grant us here on earth to share the hope that is in us, should be an opportunity in which we have shared with others the encouragement God has Himself given us.
