Am I arguing with my own faith, my own success waffling in the self-inflicted variability or have I stuck so soundly to rules and order that I suffer from over control and correction? With all the voices readily available and painfully willing to offer their suggestions of the best way forward has it become near impossible to stand still and allow the discernment of Spirit to lead?

Apparently this self inflicted faith fluctuation is endemic to the times of this final age, as people travel to and fro seeking knowledge. Is the adherence and pressure to anoint to voice of Science to a position above the peace and understanding of God, increasing anxiety and volatility within the human race in general and more specifically in the body Faithful?

The Word counsels believers to wait upon the Lord and patiently seek to “effectively listen” to God’s Holy Spirit as He carries to deeper dimensions within mystery and discernment. However, as a species man has become addicted to immediate cessation of the “unknown” state presently and consistently lacking the foundational fruits of patience required to stay upon the Lord.

What has this agitation and dependence upon “knowledge” produced in this age of overwhelming sources of elaborate dissertation regarding nearly every subject under the stars? First, it has eroded the solid understanding and important footing associated with a trust in only one objective truth source. Secondly, it has moved people away from the garden of God’s consistent word into the currents of “professional” opinion. And finally, it has created a seemingly nervous population, apparently unwilling to wait upon anything.

This convergence of impatient promptings and accepted norms has humans rushing to and demanding answers where often the questions have been improperly framed from outset. For instance, if the truth shall set me free, does this untie the bale-strings allowing any truth, unproven or ill sourced to now become the desires of our salvation seeking hearts? Does everything set us free because all things have the same credibility?

The dangers of these accepted social guidelines almost seem silly when spoken, yet they are very real pressures facing a mankind that no longer has the patience to discern the objectivity and trust associated with the vanilla label of “knowledge” associated with having eaten from the tree of public consumption. Our children no longer debate with intent to test the data and qualify the quality of sources. They are now so gullible or conversely so non-trusting that they simply argue to argue not to achieve the pinnacle of solid decisions based on qualified analysis and constructive debate.

Worse yet they disqualify the Word of God simply because they have been told it is the “Old Tired untrustworthy resource that has led the lemmings of humanity into all historical mistake. When the opposite remains the sole criteria for wisdom, waiting upon, verifying and following the Voice of God to the best decisions available. There is only one truth that sets mankind free and that is that Jesus Christ is the only way, the only Truth and the only source of Salvation from the eternal traps of: sin, death and hell.

Therefore, a culture that is outright dismissive of that singular Truth Source at deliberation’s outset effectively leads humans astray on journey’s first footfall. Believers though less frequent to identify demonstrate a patient reliance upon God’s direction, choosing to declared through considered action the absolute understanding that there is only one fully reliable truth source for humanity, the Voice of God’s Holy Spirit.

The creates a dichotomy that is impossible to overlook: a global lust for information, any information and a remnant subsection of discerning candidates fully intent upon “Good” decisions not simply escaping the anxiety of indecision plaguing today’s overwhelmed. How do you answer those questions most frequently avoided than answered, “What is the Truth that sets you free and is the Bible One Hundred Percent the inerrant/infallible Word of God Almighty”?

How you answer these questions arguably will segregate you from the sweeping tide and rush to find data however relevant to quench humanity’s thirst for tenuous science and relegate you to the increasingly unpopular position of skepticism that demands any/all truths come from God and therefore must be tested no for their “Science” but their agreement with the Word of God.
