Truth

Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part you will make me know wisdom.  Psalm 51:6
In our current political climate it is hard to know what to believe. Even our news is commonly airing false news. God desires truth in us. This thought comes from a face book post about a Pepsi can that is leaving out words of the Pledge of Allegiance. The post says Pepsi left out "Under God". Don't know myself, I don't drink Pepsi. I love Coke. It was almost tempting for me to repost because of my preference for Coke. I did a quick search on Google and found a report that says this story is false. I have learned over the years that even SNOPES cannot be trusted, Their answers often support their political leanings rather than truth.  I will probably look at Pepsi cans the next time I am in a store to see if this is true. I know from posting political posts someone from the other side will always have info contrary to my info.  I have read many posts supporting the belief of climate change cause by humans. They say 97% of scientist believe, but what they don't tell you is the 97% believe the climate does change over cycles, but that does not mean 97% believe it is cause by humans. But one side of the debate will twist it to support their cause.  They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone. Titus 3:2 Slander is common place in our society today. I will never forget this as long as I live: A liberal that I worked in an office with during the George W. Bush reelection campaign said, it was OK to use the forged national guard papers, because they were trying to keep George W. from winning reelection.  God desires truth from us, his word tells us not to slander anyone. I wonder if we as Christians exercise enough care in what we pass on in casual conversation, Face book, twitter etc. We cannot play on the same field as those that believe the end justifies the means. We must value truth. Win or lose, we must only win by doing what is right. God keeps a record that does not lie.  God bless, LVZ.
