The Truth Shall Make You Free

Remember those “true or false” questions on tests? There was one right answer and one wrong answer. No shades of gray.

The first four words in the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence are, “We hold these truths . . . .” They are “truths” because they are absolutely, verifiably, unchangeably right. What is true cannot be distorted, even a tiny bit, or it becomes what it false.

Politicians and the media (which was established to hold politicians accountable) have so convoluted the truth that they have become smooth liars and many ignorant people believe what they say. Our task is to desire the truth, find the truth, believe the truth, speak the truth, and live the truth. Only then can we truly be free.

“The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear.” –Herbert Sebastien Agar
