47 years ago today, the world was stunned at how 918 people could have believed a power hungry leader who convinced them he was God, enough to drink poisoned Kool-Aid to their deaths.
Dear friends, we no longer need to wonder how they could be so deceived. We are surrounded by the same cult mentality right now - in our communities, in our churches, around our Thanksgiving tables. Millions of professed American Christians are taking the kool-aid of one of the most evil movements in the history of the world. Lies, abductions, child sex rings, murder, greed, power-mongering, white supremacy, male dominance, rape . . .
Some of you are holding the glass of Kool-Aid. Pour it out. Do not drink it. Some of you have tasted it. Spit it out.
Read about Jim Jones, and think about it. The 918 could have walked away from the cult.
Read Matthew 7, and pray for discernment. Jesus said we will know them by their fruits.
