I read a headline proclaiming we currently endure a "Global War On Truth." On this I can agree. Never in my life have I seen lying so openly embraced. And tomorrow looks the worse. These seeds we plant today will poison every man, woman, and child who descend from us and they will curse us bitterly - even as they do the same planting. Lie begets lie.
But though our direction is dire, our ultimate fate is not. Lies are but of a consciousness of time, yet truth is eternal. The time of lying will die and pass away forever as it must. It is for no reason that we deviate. In the inevitable revelation that is coming we will discover the joy and connection of brotherhood we've been painfully missing. We will discover the only enemy we had was lying itself.

Like a boiling pot that creates increasing pressure to keep its lid on, so must the lying increase to sustain its illusion of life. When you ask why a person rages, look at his lies. When you ask why a nation falls, look at its lies. When you ask why a world erodes, look at its lies. Salvation is right before us. We may destroy those who speak truthfully, but they are not its origin. We may kill every man who fails to say the world is flat but the world stays just as round.
In silence did Jesus reply when asked, "What is truth?" And so should every person do the same when his brother speaks dishonestly, for the battle is not ours. Lies are chains that rob us of our future. When time comes to move forward or die, those who stay chained will perish. The only judging done on judgement day will be by those who judged themselves. To be free is to never die.
What we are is on the precipice of witnessing horrors out of our worst nightmares. The speech of pornography is uttered by our highest leaders who've become priests of perversion: justice portrayed as persecution and persecution portrayed as justice. As those who lie hate themselves, so shall they hate others. As fools forsake hope, so shall they seek to strip it from the planet. They preach of a "love" for lying, of a "hope" for illusion, and of an ungodly "defiance" they deem holy.
It will be easy to despair as battle after battle is lost. But remember, the war is already won as its fate is not in our hands. Life is the only possible outcome. Mankind's long denied dreams will finally blossom as we forever beat our swords into plowshares and our light bursts forth in worldwide ecstasy.
In this dark hour of trial, we may feel abandoned by our Maker, to turn bitter and angry at the seemingly ceaseless injustices we must witness and endure. Each of us will be asked to defend our love, a task of lifelong struggle. But as Moses said, "The word is very near you, it is in your mouth and in your heart." By truth we are set free, for truth is life.
