Truth is Fallen in the Street

Isaiah 59:14 …truth is fallen in the street…

People prefer smooth lies to hard truths. The crowd spurn important truths, the gospel truth. The father of lies is satan, a mastermind of deception, John 8:44.

The ruling class of ancient Rome used “bread and circuses” to keep people content and compliant. Nowadays there’s consumer goods and entertainment to pacify and distract people away from the truth.

It seems like there’s a new religion - a worship of Mother Earth. The Bible tells of people exchanging the truth of God for a lie, Romans 1:25. Design is written all over creation, but people will not bow the knee to the designer.

The truth is that the worship of creation, of Mother Earth, is a pagan thing. It stems back to the Babylonians.Climate change environmentalism is the new green religion. We are doomed and we need salvation… The world is hurtling towards an apocalypse, a crisis, caused by man - and man must save himself. They call it the biggest moral challenge facing mankind. To dare to deny the dogma of manmade climate change makes you a heretic. A science-denier.

The truth is being redefined. Some want to cancel Australia Day. They call the national identity of this country racist and ‘oppressive’.

The education system has been dumbed down. Schools have become indoctrination centres. Abraham Lincoln said: “The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next”.

What is truth? So said Pilate. Truth was staring him in the face, but he couldn’t see it.

We hear calls for a “great reset” - a fundamental change in the economy, society, and politics. It means government control and a loss of personal freedoms.

Are we being lied to by government? There is much talk of restrictions to control people, and take away freedoms, and calls for more shots.

The leftists reject the historic concept of family. It seems that truth is no longer respected or valued as it should be. People are living a distorted view of reality with an obsession on social media. People’s lives are focused on superficial values.

We have a crying need for the truth. The Bible foretells… 2 Timothy 4:3-4 …they will not endure sound doctrine… they shall turn away their ears from the truth…

Biblical values are lost… There is a lack of respect for the inherent value of a human life… some babies that are born alive in some Australian hospitals are left to die. Now we have “Assisted voluntary dying” - the deliberate taking of life. Pharmacists will literally dispense poison for people to kill themselves.

Strange things are on the horizon. They are now trying to implant wombs into men. Our children are being taught gender fluidity.

I am telling you the truth. The unvarnished truth. Truth is fallen in the street. Truly, we are in a war. This battle is raging… A battle for truth between the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error, 1 John 4:6. We are called to be counter-cultural revolutionaries…

We can expect more totalitarian government, and a society where truth is perverted and lost. The novel “Brave New World” depicts a government using advanced technology, drugs, and psychological manipulation to control people.

The novel “1984” tells of a "Big Brother" government that exercises control through constant surveillance, propaganda, and punishment. “Thought Police” ensure people yield in blind obedience.The novel warns of the dangers of censorship and propaganda and how it can be used to control and manipulate. There is an escalating threat of technologies that could lead to a surveillance state… And yet, “However much you deny the truth, the truth goes on existing” - George Orwell.

The 2030 Agenda could mean that our own government could hand over control to the UN of our rights, laws, freedoms, private property, energy use, and lifestyle. Our freedoms are under real threat. This “master plan” is a “roadmap to global socialism”.

There’s a definite indoctrination of the next generation… Truth is being redefined. But the Bible declares absolute truth. Our source for truth is not the opinions of the world, but it is the Word of God.

What is the truth? God’s word must be the ultimate reliable source. John 17:17 ...thy word is truth. The Bible helps us to be able to discern truth from lies. Our Lord tells of how the Spirit of truth… will guide you into all the truth.

We are called to be people of truth - to stand for what is right - to have the courage to speak the truth. Ephesians 4:15 …speaking the truth in love.

People are being shouted down, de-platformed, and cancelled. yet we cannot stay silent. We must speak up.

There are many lies being told today… The transformative power of the gospel is the only real solution for mankind today.

Are we going to speak, and live the truth, or not? Let every man speak truth to his neighbour.

The ultimate truth is “the Gospel Truth”. True change and hope can come from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
