“… Even if everyone else is a liar, God is true…” Romans 3:4 (NLT)

The majority of people around the world would agree the past year and a half has been like nothing we’ve experienced in our lifetimes. A pandemic, which caused millions of deaths worldwide. Once peaceful protests of preceding years escalating to violent riots causing havoc, fear and even death. Heated conversations if the last presidential election was stolen or fairly won…dividing family and friends. Opinions if someone is really a biological gender or not. Whether to get a vaccination or not, wear a mask or not, open the church or not…sadly causing separation within brothers and sisters in Christ.

Truth is getting battered and bruised. Truism has been stomped and kicked around. How many times in the last year has truth been spoken only to be fact-checked, flagged, labeled or suspended as hate speech?

People are trying to rewrite THE truth. Whenever THE truth does not line up with their “truth”…a revision of opinion tries to rear its ugly head. THE truth…God’s truth, does not pick a side. Truth is it’s own side! God’s truth is the only thing I know of that cannot “straddle the fence.” Truth perches itself on the fence high above either side with outstretched arms of love and mercy.  Remember Mount Calvary where the two thieves on their crosses and Jesus was in the middle? Jesus wasn’t taking sides. He was the truth in the middle yearning neither man perish. We don’t change truth to side with our opinions. We get to experience grace, which aligns us with God’s truth.

This world with 7 billion opinions doesn’t need a dumb-downed god where his truth can be reduced to accommodate defeated lifestyles. We need THE One and only sovereign God with His high-standards, His ways and His thoughts that we cannot reach on our own, but by His love for us…pulls you and I into the grace of His son Jesus.

Continue to pray. Keep speaking truth. Never stop trusting and believing. Carry out God’s great commission. Persist lovingly to those who need to hear God’s truth because if someone doesn’t know THE truth…they can’t know what’s it’s like to be truly free.

“Father, even if everyone else is a liar, we know You are truth…and life.”

For His Glory
