Find The Truth

More and more I am convinced that our society is bent on finding someone who will tell them what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear.
  • We don't like the honest prognosis that the doctor gives us, so we find a doctor that will tell us what we want to hear and our health suffers.
  • We don't like the realtor that tells us our home is worth 10,000 less than we want for it, so we find a realtor that will list our home for the price we want and end up taking an offer for 15,000 less.
  • We don't like the teacher that says our child needs to learn to behave in class, so we have our child pulled out of her class and the problem continues on unaddressed by the new teacher.
  • We don't like the contractor that tells us we need to remove damp drywall and replace it, so we hire the one that will just fix the surface and we end up with a mold problem.
  • We don't like the fellow believer that points us to what God says about our life struggle and we turn to friends that have no interest in God and we wonder why we wreck our lives.
  • We don't like the America's Got Talent judge that gives honest feedback and we boo him. :-)
Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6
People don't like this and they go looking for what they cannot find any where else.

The Bible says the truth will set you free (John 8:32) The truth will set you free from worry, from self destruction, from stupid choices, from addiction, from following a path away from God's plan, from hurt, etc.

Don't shy away from the truth found in the Bible and the truth spoken to you by friends that love God and fill their lives with His truth. Welcome the truth. We need to hear the truth.
