A new trend has emerged, advising people to “speak their truth.” It seems that the truth is all about perspective and not about actual truth. Silly me, I always thought that truth was up there next to wisdom; but, wisdom is based on fearing God. Truth now seems based on how someone sees something, whether it is true or not.
You can say that someone who has a penis is a woman. For many, they think that is the truth. To the rest of us who understand physiology, see that as lacking wisdom. So, if your truth lacks wisdom, then it is false. We live in a time in which we are seeing so much false truth. Because we lack wisdom, we cannot discern whether “our truth” is actually truth.
Worse yet, we are introducing this false truth into our schools. It is no wonder that college students are graduating dumber than when they started. Unless the curriculum is grounded in wisdom, it stands a good chance of being false. Truth has to pass the litmus test of being wise. God has to be the basis of our truth. When we turn over our truth to idiot professors, we are likely to be wrong.
So much of our truth arises from our sin. The more that we can drag others into our sin, our sin becomes their truth. Many want to teach their sin to school children and display their sin in parades. The rest of us show our lack of wisdom for looking the other way. I have committed plenty of acts of sinning against God, I am not proud of that sin, and I don’t parade it around, and I certainly don’t suggest that children be taught to accept my sin. Why? Because I have enough wisdom to realize that doing that would just be stupid.
