Here is a question ,what is one of the first things a totalitarian state do when they get into power,they control the media,and tell a lot lies.It was Joseph Goebbels who told what has become known as ,'The big Lie',It reads like this,'If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,people will eventially come to believe it'.Their history will only reveal their supposed successes,not there blemishes,their wicked deeds,and failures.When we come to the Bible we come to the most honest book ever written,yes there are many wonderful people mentioned in it like the warrior king David,who wrote all those wonderful Psalms,a man after God's own heart,but it also tells us of his darker side,his adultery and callousness.Then there was Solomon with all his God given wisdom,and all his riches and power,but it doesn't leave out his gross folly.It dosen't excuse or overlook them or make light of them, they are judged,for God is no respecter of their persons.The bible tells us honestly how things are ,peoples shortcomings and failures.Recently I spoke to a young married man who pointed out peoples devious ways,and I asked why that was,he did not come up with a satisfactory answer,and I give him the Bibles answer, sin,yes thats is an honest answer,,Many people came to Christ and he always told them the truth,even though they didn't like what he said. It is only the truth,that helps people,painful though it is,Read the Bible it will not tell you what you want to hear,but what you need to hear.Here is what our Saviour said ,the truth will set you free,the truth that is revealed in Himself.
