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

CATHOLIC TENDENCIES

Ever since I was introduced to the Catholic Church I have been fascinated by this body of the Christian faith. One thing that has stuck with me that I admire is the unashamed strength to stand up for what they believe and back it up with The Three Pillars of the Church. Now for those who do not know The Three Pillars, they are number one, Sacred Scripture which comprises the Old Testament and New Testament in a total of seventy-three books. Next is the Apostolic Tradition which is the Living Tradition and the liturgies. Thirdly, The Living Magisterium which is the teaching authority of the Pope in Communion with the Bishops. So what brought this topic up for me is listening to a podcast by Fr. Mike Schmitz denouncing the opening in France of the Olympics when blasphemy was committed by mocking The Last Supper of Jesus Christ. I know some of you are thinking this is already old news. At the time, so many wrote and talked about it that I felt it would be overkill if I wrote about it. I

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
