Without God, Mankind is very very lost! What an understatement! The Roman Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, "what is Truth?". His question reflected the total darkness of the human mind that does not know God. The embodiment of Truth was staring him in the face and he could not see it. Jesus declared in John 14:6, "I am the Truth." 

We are living in an age when lies are so prolific that the truth has become obscured from view. When truth is lost, there can be no freedom. John 8:32 "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."

The more lies people believe, the less freedom they have. Lies suck the liberty out until there is nothing left but tyranny. We must contend for the truth!

(AMP) Galatians 5:1 IN [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off].

It is a foolishly dangerous thing to listen to liars, compromisers, scoffers and false teachers in any setting. This can be in the process of education or on the daily news or in a public eatery. Those who deny God, the Bible, true history or science will get you to bow your knee to tyrants, villains, bullies, thieves and murderers.

Psalms 1 (TPT)  THE TREE OF LIFE

1 What delight comes to the one who follows God’s ways!

He won’t walk in step with the wicked,

nor share the sinner’s way,

nor be found sitting in the scorner’s seat.

2 His pleasure and passion is remaining true to the Word of “I Am,”

meditating day and night in the true revelation of light.

3 He will be standing firm like a flourishing tree

planted by God’s design,

deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss,

bearing fruit in every season of his life.

He is never dry, never fainting,

ever blessed, ever prosperous.

4 But how different are the wicked.

All they are is dust in the wind—

driven away to destruction!

5 The wicked will not endure the day of judgment,

for God will not defend them.

Nothing they do will succeed or endure for long,

for they have no part with those who walk in truth.

6 But how different it is for the righteous!

The Lord embraces their paths as they move forward

while the way of the wicked leads only to doom.
