Trust and Truth

They play with our trust as it is a bust upon the mantle place, moved about in whim or Feng shui.  What is the truth in public life?  Are we certain that we have all the information, winnowing out the deception, hyperbole and disinformation?  Aren’t we left at the mercy of the most convincing thespian in the absence of substantiated fact and ideals?  Could that be where we find ourselves currently stand, a point where the gifted speaker becomes the foundation of right and wrong?  What does this public inclination and practice do to the power in our pulpits?  Is the Word of God transformed into just words losing the Holy Spirit’s influence?  Are we then left at the mercy of our own individual capacity to discern truth from fiction or deception?  How then would this affect our children, are they in greater danger?  What would be the outcome of leaving our education system in the hands of those who choose an alternate explanation for the origin or history of man?  Is it possible that we would end up with the current disarray and ethical waffling as a result of this informative capitulation?  How do we put the “power” of the Kingdom of God back into the Body of Christ?  Is it even possible to re-invite Christ into a backsliden or apostate Church?

I hate the deeds of wicked men.  It matters not to which group they call themselves member.  Truth is truth and is not some variable for alchemical transformation.  It is easy to love people, it is altogether difficult to review their behavior, actions and the worse yet, their words and find peace in your review.  God does not waffle, mince, monkey or vacillate.  Where we as men, desperately need to flexibility of the “gray area” in order to self-justify our actions, the truth of God stands immovable.  You cannot banter with Truth and Trust or the entire fabric of civilization begins to crumble, as real common people begin to struggle with what their senses tell them and what rumor proclaims.  It may not make me happy that people hate me for what I believe, but I rejoice in the fact that they know what I believe and do not have to guess at my allegiance, trustworthiness or truth.  Standing upon the only dependable truth in this world, The Almighty Word of God, is the only position from which to maintain absolute clarity, transparency and trust.  Every man knows the truth that is God, to ignore it is peril and leaves one scrambling to create an alternate explanation for my works.  Worse yet once I have ignored the truth and convinced myself of the lie then I will feel oddly compelled to modify the beliefs of everyone around me to protect my fantasy and fragile persona.

Father forgive them for their eyes have been blinded to the Truth.  Remove the veil from our eyes Lord so that their is nothing left to reveal but the foundation of Your Sovereignty.  I pray these things in the Name of Jesus Christ the Ruler of Creation, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
