The House of the Rising Sun

Today I want to talk about the Devil's Deception and the House of the Rising Sun. Recently I saw a music video with some video clips of the Sons of Anarchy and the music from the House of the Rising Sun. I was never a fan of the Sons of Anarchy because I thought it was a stupid show. Hillbillies glorifying patches and crime because they have nothing better to do.

The SOA video was of a guy who rides a motorcycle. He's got two young kids and gives them hugs as he says goodbye. He hands in his presidents patch to his club then kills himself when the cops try and pull him over. I was like WTF? That was pointless. You've got two young kids. Don't you want to be a part of their life and see them grow up?

Other versions of the song say "Spend your lives in sin and misery in the House of the Rising Sun." Sin and misery. They go hand in hand because wickedness never was happiness.

The solution is simple. Don't get trapped by the Devil's deception. The chains of slavery are like flaxen cords that gently and softly wrap themselves around our neck slowly but surely. We don't notice it at first until they tighten their grip and start to choke us out. Then it's clear the chains need to be broken and the deception needs to be revealed. The truth will set you free.
