TRUST THE FAKE NEWS?

In today's world, it is very hard to trust anything. Famous words we hear in the last eight years are "fake news." But long before Pres. Trump started saying this mantra, Lucifer was saying fake news in the Garden of Eden. Satan is the father of lies and with his lies, he had Eve confused about what was the real truth. She believed the handful of lies Satan gave her and there was the downfall of humanity. Check out Genesis chapter 3 and see how deceptive Satan is in dealing with humans. Now Satan did not stop lying in Genesis but he has kept going since then in the Heavens and on Earth.

Now Satan was so prideful that he thought he could deceive Jesus the very Messiah. He tried to get Jesus to doubt that He was the Son of Man. He lied, brided, and tried to sow seeds of doubt but to no avail. Jesus had Satan's number and dealt with him accordingly. You can read this for yourself in Matthew chapter 4 and Luke chapter 4.

So the question is, "Where is truth, who has the truth?" Secondly, the next question should be, "How do we know it is the truth?" My answer for you the reader is simple. The truth is found in God and God alone. I have found that the Holy Bible is loaded with the truth about life, human nature, and God. I have followed the teachings of Jesus Christ and found them to never fail me. In John 14:6 Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." I chose to have faith in the words of Jesus and they have led me to the real truth.

Now to answer the second question of how do I know it is true. I rely on the Holy Spirit to guide me and teach me through inspiration and testifying to my spirit what is truth. John 16:13 says, When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. I will share this verse with you also, 1 John 5:20 which says, And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

I look at everything from a biblical viewpoint. Jesus Christ is my compass which points me due north or should I say unto all truth. I could have given you an answer with science, pop culture beliefs, and otherworldly answers but then I would become fake news!

POISONING THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY BIBLE

The Holy Bible has many beautiful truths within its pages and the most wonderful story in the world of how a loving and gracious God came from Heaven to Earth to save us from sin and ourselves. What I have seen that saddens my heart is when men and women distort the Bible's precious truths. Sometimes they play mental gymnastics with a rubicon of verses to put together their own view of a topic and make the Bible appear to support their side. Both the liberal and conservative Christians do it and even those who are not even believers play this game. People who want all answers to life and faith but only from the Bible are some of the most toxic and unhappy people I know. Where is their Christlike love? Jesus dealt with this kind of mindset in his mortal time on earth and they were called Pharisees. We must be willing to take the Bible as it is written and what the writers led by the Holy Spirit meant. We must be authentic and transparent. Some things in the Bible are uncomfortabl

WHAT VOICES ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

Since the internet entered our homes and social media dominates the culture of the world we as a human race have rapidly lost our humanity in many ways. People are so vicious to one another and it is so sad to see how narcissistic we have become as a species. I am often balancing what I read and what I listen to so I do not become toxic and filled with false understandings and beliefs. So it is very important to consider just what voices you are listening to and what voices are you reading. What is the mindset of the people, shows, and music you are allowing into your life? We need to be more alert to not allowing trash into our minds, ears, and eyes. Let us not become a landfill for society's useless trash. If you let garbage in soon it will be garbage out. What is most in your heart will eventually come out the mouth both spoken and written. Matthew 15:18-20

ELECTION YEAR 2024! OH BOY!

Yes, folks, it is an election year and of course, both parties believe they are going to save the world. Sorry, but Jesus Christ already did that some 2000 years ago. Now the other fun fact about this is every election year it is a Chicken Little story all over again, which is the sky is falling if the Republicans get into office, and the sky is falling if the Democrats get into office. This reminds me of how news on the weather is nowadays. There will be one inch of snow coming which is the great white death from above so stock up on everything. The exaggeration from political parties and the news is absolutely off the charts in this day and age. Gone are the Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw days of newscasting. Social media can be used for good and even to spread the gospel message but also it can perpetuate lies and deceit. I hope it is used more responsibly than what I have been witnessing. So back to politics and voting, I would say do your best to try and find reliable informati
