Thank you, Gary for “Almost persuaded,” a lesson on deception and trying to live in a nation where truth is mostly non-existent.

Most of us were taught as children not to lie. Our consciences were pricked at a very young age. We were raised in the training and discipline of our LORD. We knew right from wrong so a lie could not be made to be true.

The Word of God tells us our nature outside of this training is to serve ourselves above others at any cost. So we lie, steal, kill and destroy to attain those goals.

Today our children are told by their teachers to lie to their parents because what they are told and what they do at school is none of their business.

And then there is the absurd notion of “it’s my truth.” Your truth is not my truth. As a matter of fact, there is no real truth.

This is the wicked logic that permeates a nation that is in rebellion against God. What is happening in our country today is a picture of what it looks like to live in a world without our Creator God who is the standard for absolute truth. His authority establishes that truth. The Bible says that Jesus is “the way, and the truth, and the life” and that He is the ultimate manifestation of truth and the only way one can get to heaven (John 14:6).

We murder babies in the mother’s womb and on the delivery table up to 28 days after birth. Do we expect a people who can do that to tell the truth? Forgive us O’ GOD!

The Rep. Hunt. vs. Director Wray video was telling in that the only concrete fact that FBI Director Wray can provide is the number of FBI applicants that come from Texas.
