The source of all truth comes from Our Heavenly Father. Men will take a truth and put a subtle variance in it and still call it “truth”. That has effectively happen in most of our legal systems on earth today that proclaim to operate on “the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth”. They have removed “so help me GOD”. For all practical purposes, most of creation is committing perjury.
Truth is most often used to mean in accord with fact or reality, or fidelity to an original or to a standard or ideal. I would state that Truth must reside with the Creator of Heaven and earth and HE establishes Truth. After all, HE originates the Law, the facts, reality, a code of conduct, perfection, and completion. HIS Divine Intent of Love is the ultimate source of Truth.
It is my intent to write these blogs not only to present facts, but to state the truth of the matter. That can be difficult as our society continues to accelerate in its lawlessness. Is it more lawless or am I simply more aware of its lawlessness? I believe mankind is becoming more lawless. I have now lived long enough to observe a decades-long trend toward lawlessness. Once prayer was taken out of the school, many children were no longer exposed to the “Fear of GOD”. After a generation of schools without prayer, violence has increased among school-aged children. Drugs, sex, murder, suicide, and other violence plague the schools now. Do we call that progress?
Our legal system is broken. The entitled simply pay their way out of harm’s way while the rest of us suffer from their lawlessness. The “too big to fail” (TBTF) banks continue their casino operations after their buddies bailed them out of the last financial meltdown. The high court has determine a corporation is effectively a “person” and can contribute to a politician’s reelection. A few select individuals control huge amounts of money that can sway a politician’s vote. The Truth is not considered in the matter, only money.
John 8:32 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
In one sense, I am appalled that the CIA would place this Scripture on their wall. In another sense, the power and authority of that Scripture will evoke judgment on this and other spy agencies who are embedded in lies, abuses, and deceptions. These agencies openly lie to Congress under the abused term “national security”. It is truly a sad commentary on the state of our country.
Isaiah 1:9 Unless the LORD of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like Sodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.
As a nation, we have many of the aspects of Sodom and Gomorrah operating openly in our country. These two cities were known for their unnatural sexual practices and drug addiction. Effectively, our nation has moved away from righteousness and condoned these practices. The Good News is that Our Heavenly Heavenly has reserved “a very small remnant” who are willing to pursue Truth in spite of the pressure to accept the lawlessness of the current environment.
For those of us continuing to pursue the fullness of Truth, we will ultimately be empowered with authority to confront the lawlessness just as Jesus did when He walked among the people. HIS Glory will shine in us and expose the lies for what they are. Perversion of the Truth will no longer be hidden but will be exposed for all to see. The people will cry in their pillows as they realize they have been deceived throughout their lives. The illusion of “righteousness” will evaporate and the ugliness of their lawless state will be judged and corrected. They will finally see the “brightness of HIS coming” and then, the real Truth will set them free.
