Be Done with Opinion Polls

I'm done with opinion polls. I can hardly believe how prevalent they have become in our news media; they're frequently cited now in newspapers, radio, and TV news.

I encourage you to be done with them, too.

Here's why: paying attention to opinion polls fosters a greater willingness to let your convictions be established or changed by what other people say and think. (Actually, more dangerous than that -- what is reported that other people think and say.)

We need to be men of God, focusing our attention on God, and drawing our beliefs and convictions from God.
