What is the true meaning and depth of this verse for Christians today? In this day and age, the truth is continuously suppressed from the ears of all that are deaf to the voice of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. In the schools, media, work field, and even the government, the truth is suppressed and said to be unconstitutional and disputable. Just recently in the courts government debated on whether or not the Ten Commandments should be posted publicly. This country was founded on more than just the fact that all men are created equal; it was also founded on the fact that all men are created in the image of the everlasting God, the Father, being dignified in the righteousness of the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Now America suffers from her poor decisions to acknowledge He that has blessed this country and has been merciful in the chastisement of this country that is far past due in time.
In case one were to be confused or unaware of what the word “truth” in the context of this composition, the truth would refer to the things that are morally correct based upon Bible principles and doing things the way Jesus would have done.
These principles have been terminated to almost non-existent in the schools. The youth of this nation gets pointed and lead to everywhere but where they need to look. In virtually all of the shows and sitcoms, the media portrays homosexual (as well as heterosexual) innuendos laced throughout the shows so that society can get comfortable with this disease –like deviation. In previous times, this nation used to be very moral by censoring what comes out of the mouths of people on the television and radio. And nowadays profanity is used more freely and without hesitation. Today’s contemporary music constantly depicts bad morality, corruption, and violence. Most of the music teaches you that you should be able to do things your way or no way at all. The youth can’t even begin to understand the concepts of truth because the media constantly pumps bad morality and lies into their minds. Satan is most definitely the prince of the power of this air, the spirit that now works on the children of unbelief, and he is definitely busy! And being prince of the power of the air, this means that he uses the media as a transmission of his perversion of God’s truth.
Things that the media tells you today:
- Every religion is the same (we are all worshiping the same God)
- Everyone should accept homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle (“ I think my election is one of several indications that gay and lesbian folk are being brought more into the center of the church. It’s not about me. It’s about not having to be ashamed.” – Bishop Gene Robinson)
- Children don’t have to obey they’re parents, it’s their life anyway
- Abortion is the women’s choice of what she chooses to do with her body
- Being a drunkard is okay as long as you’re twenty one and over and you do it responsibly
- Sex is okay as long as it’s safe
I am certain that these are only a few of the things that are in the media that people are lead to believe and follow today. But this is were the truth comes in. The Bible teaches things that are in complete opposition to what the media says about things.
What the Bible says:
- There is only one way to get to heaven and one God. (“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’.” John 14:6.)
- Homosexuality isn’t nor ever will be accepted in the eyes of God (“Don’t you know that wicked people won’t inherit the kingdom of God? Stop deceiving yourselves! People who continue to commit sexual sins, who worship false gods, those who commit adultery, homosexuals, or thieves, those who are greedy or drunk, who use abusive language, or who rob people will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
- Children should always obey they’re parents (“Children, always obey your parents. This is pleasing to the Lord.” 1 Colossians 3:20)
- Abortion is not the choice of what the women will do with her body because she is not her own. (Don’t you know that your body is a temple that belongs to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit, whom you received from God, lives in you. You don’t belong to yourselves.” 1 Corinthians 16:9)
- Drinking alcohol to get drunk is not okay for anyone for any reason. (Don’t get drunk on wine, which leads to wild living. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 also see 1 Corinthians 16:9 and 1 Corinthians 6:9- 10)
- Sex is being abused today when it was only intended for marriage. (“Marriage is honorable in every way, so husbands and wives should be faithful to each other. God will judge those who commit sexual sins, especially those who commit adultery.” Hebrews 13:4
These things are not being taught in our society today and as a result, America makes a whore of herself by opening herself to all immoral and devious customs. People are wondering why things are going the way that they are going. Someone once said if you don’t take a stand for something you’ll fall for anything.
Broad is the road which leads to destruction and many enter through this gate. There are many ways to walk through this gate of destruction and this country is laced and diseased with these very ways, which leads straight to an eternal life in Hell.
But the narrow gate and the road that lead to life are full of trouble. It ‘s really easy to live a life of sin and obeying the desires of your flesh. Only a few people find the narrow gate. It takes a lot more effort to The Truth Untold walk in the divine light and acknowledge the power and amazing grace of Jesus Christ and bring your flesh in submission to God. And once you take a step on the road that leads to life, the devil comes forth like a roaring lion seeking to devour you!
The Bibles says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of God. And our adversary is doing all he can to keep the untold truth unspeakable all around the world.
