S04E040, Whose Truth Is It Anyway, Andy B 2 Minute Video

It’s easy to be bamboozled by people telling us their truth. And we’ve seen, during COVID, media sources confuse everybody by spreading their own opinions, while calling their opinions fact and, at the same time, deleting and blocking any, and all, comments that they simply didn’t like. The truth has been belittled to opinions, just shouted ever louder!
MSM means Main Stream Media – I had to look it up. And the trouble with MSM is that they do exactly the same thing as social media, only they do it while wearing business suits on our television sets.
So, where on earth, do we seek out the actual truth? Certainly not from fact checkers, who have already been forced to admit that they are nothing more than opinion think tanks, and not – as we were told – conveyors of the absolute truth.
In courts, a line is used about the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But, how can we find that? Where is it?
Well, as Christians, a great way to find the truth is to simply go back to what the Bible says. It is not, of course, going to tell us about the finer points of the current situation in Ukraine and the terrible, unprovoked atrocities being maliciously perpetrated by the Russian forces against the Ukrainian people. But it does help us find the truth, none the less!
So, if you – like me – don’t know where to turn for information and news, since all the news outlets have long abandoned any actual news reporting, and have drifted into what they repeatedly have started labelling as opinion pieces instead, read around the subject and check with scripture. Find a number of sources, including from news sources you wouldn’t prefer to read.
And trust that the Holy Spirit WILL guide us to the truth, if we ask Him. James 1 comes to mind here!
Ultimately, however, the reason why I say the bible helps us seek out the truth amongst the myriad of news reports we can read online, in newspapers, on apps and on our televisions, is because it tells us how to respond, and why people behave in a certain way.
If we know the why, it helps us understand the what much better. And, so like so much else, it helps lead us not into worry, but into action, and to prayer!
Just a thought…
