The Critical Question

“How do you know?” That’s one of the most important questions you could ever ask anyone. Not only should you ask others, but each of you ought to ask yourself that question many times each day. “How do you know?” Asking that question should be a habit. When someone tries to persuade you, you can ask that question. You could phrase your question several different ways. “What makes you think so?” “What gives you that idea?” “What’s the basis of your thinking on that?” “How do you arrive at that conclusion?”

It’s a tough question, and few people can answer it rationally regardless of the subject. Most people drift off into the land of make-believe or suddenly leave the conversation because they don’t want to think things through.

In the final analysis, there are only two sources of knowledge: divine revelation or made-up stuff. Divine revelation is available in Jesus only. All wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. Some may argue against this, but those arguments fall apart quickly if you think things through to the end.

There’s a reason the intellectuals come up with irrational ideas. It’s not that they’re stupid. They’re intelligent. Lack of intelligence isn’t the problem. The problem is they aren’t reasoning from truth.

The intellectuals and power-brokers try to enforce their ideas by appealing to wokeness (hyper political correctness). If you don’t blindly believe their nonsense, they try to destroy you. They shame you. They call you names. If you don’t agree with their insanity, they imply you’re ignorant, insane, or evil. They judge you to be politically incorrect and a bad person. They judge you according to their immoral thinking. They call you “judgmental.” They call you “closed-minded.”

I understand wokeness. It morphed from something called “political correctness.” I understand political correctness. It morphed from something called “the new morality.” I understand the new morality because it’s the old foolishness and self-righteousness mixed with the old immorality.

There’s a reason the intellectuals come up with irrational ideas. It’s not that they’re stupid. They’re intelligent. Lack of intelligence isn’t the problem. The problem is they aren’t reasoning from truth. Schools have stopped teaching students that sound reasoning must always begin with the truth. That’s because those who are running the show don’t believe finding the truth is possible.

I want to assure you that you can know the truth. When I say “know the truth,” I mean knowing with certainty. You can be certain about what is true and what is false. You can know what’s right and what’s wrong. However, there’s a secret to it. There’s a way to know the truth, but you need the key. How many people understand the secret? Before you’re finished, I’ll show you the secret key to knowing the truth and knowing the difference between truth and error.

Jesus is the Truth. ALL wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. He gives freely to all who ask. Without Him, there is only insanity.

Come All Ye Who Are Weary

Come All Ye Who Are Weary

Come All Ye Who Are Weary

Come All Ye Who Are Weary

Come all ye who are weary,
And I will give thee rest,
I will give thee rest,
I will give thee rest.
My yoke, it is easy, and my burden is light,
I will lead thee, and you’ll have perfect sight.
For ye did run well, so who shall hinder thee?
Who shall hinder thee?
Who shall hinder thee?
These trials are given, so that I may set you free,
A pillar in My house, you’ll be.

The world has gone crazy because it has no truth. Intellectuals make many bizarre claims.

Here’s what can happen to you. Over the months and years, you can start to feel comfortable with their bizarre claims. You can become numb. After a while, some old bizarre claims don’t sound so crazy anymore even though they’re just as crazy as when you first heard them. You may have resisted the lunacy at first, but the crazy people persisted and repeated their messages until those messages sounded normal to you. You became as crazy as the crazy people because you let them normalize insanity for you. You internalized craziness. You let craziness become part of your inner concept of reality.

I hope you’ve escaped this insanity. It’s almost impossible. It takes a miracle to escape.

And new bizarre claims keep coming. The new claims may sound wild for now, but you’ll accept them if you aren’t careful. Then, you’ll be just as idiotic as the elite intellectuals who made the claims in the first place.

And yet truth is in charge and will ultimately win the war. Jesus shows the way for all who follow Him. He reveals the meaning of life. He explains the Bible.

However, don’t let anyone deceive you. Divine revelation will never conflict with Scripture. It will show you how to apply Scripture to your life. It will expose those who add their own ideas to Scripture. It will lead you in ways that agree with Scripture, but it will never disagree with Scripture.

Here’s the problem. You can’t know anything for certain without absolute truth. If your thoughts aren’t based on absolute truth, then your thoughts are mere opinions. I’ve been guilty of this. I’ve had God speak to me and tell me that I based my thinking on nothing at all. That shook me to my core.

So, how can anyone even survive without truth? If a person without truth can’t be rational, wouldn’t every person in this predicament live in poverty or die quickly at a young age? It doesn’t work that way. Irrational people do get into high positions and do live what appear to be normal lives. Just think of some people you’ve seen in top positions and the poor decisions they’ve made.

All wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ. Christ is the Light. He lights every person. God’s rain falls on the righteous and the unrighteous. Some people just refuse to acknowledge and thank God. What happens to them? God tells us in Romans 1: “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”

If you listen to the false prophets and false teachers (scientists, politicians, media personalities, theologians, philosophers, and scholars), they are likely to influence your view of the world. They want to influence you, but that’s not all. They also want to control the way you think about reality. They want to form a fake-reality within you. They want to dictate morality to you. They will likely influence your morality if you listen to them. If you allow Hollywood to influence your morality, you will be immoral. They are experts at psychological operations and mass brainwashing. If you give yourself to ungodly music, you will be immoral.  If you allow the godless news programs to influence your morality, you will be immoral. If you allow ungodly scholars and experts to influence you, you will be immoral.

True righteousness is a gift from God. You can only walk in righteousness as you stand in God’s presence listening to His voice and yielding to His Spirit and allow Him to say His words and do His acts through you. All who persistently and sincerely seek Him find Him. He leads, teaches, and corrects all who follow Him.

Choice

Choice

Choice

The Lord has placed in front of you the privilege of choice.
You can choose to yield to God or else some other voice.
Your mind and some philosophies keep speaking to your will,
And if you try to silence them they never will be still.

It’s not so much a matter of just steering clear of sin.
It has to do with Jesus and just spending time with Him.
The Savior would direct you if you’d listen to His voice.
But He has placed in front of you the privilege of choice.

Great personages beckon. They have won respect from man.
You listen to their polished words and mimic what you can.
If persons, sects or thoughts of men are lifted to be seen.
They quickly take preeminence; the Lord, they do demean.

It’s not so much a matter of just steering clear of sin.
It has to do with Jesus and just spending time with Him.
The Savior would direct you if you’d listen to His voice.
But He has placed in front of you the privilege of choice.

You have some things you love to own; they show how well you do.
And there is nothing wrong with them, and they belong to you.
Accomplishment eats up your time and energy until
With tired eyes, you go to bed, the servant of self-will.

It’s not so much a matter of just steering clear of sin.
It has to do with Jesus and just spending time with Him.
The Savior would direct you if you’d listen to His voice.
But He has placed in front of you the privilege of choice.

And recognition is, for you, a well deserved reward.
The choice is made unconsciously to disregard the Lord.
Attempting to be popular, what did you do today?
What do you testify through deeds or through the words you say?

It’s not so much a matter of just steering clear of sin.
It has to do with Jesus and just spending time with Him.
The Savior would direct you if you’d listen to His voice.
But He has placed in front of you the privilege of choice.

And entertainments call to you–created to excite.
You just enjoy each moment there with fun and with delight.
The world of pleasure lures you; what harm now could it cause?
And so, you choose what feels good–no need to bear the cross.

It’s not so much a matter of just steering clear of sin.
It has to do with Jesus and just spending time with Him.
The Savior would direct you if you’d listen to His voice.
But He has placed in front of you the privilege of choice.

Morality is just one part of life. God is shaking every part of your life. God has been shaking everything. God is shaking all the so-called authorities and voices you trusted, and He’s exposing their corruption. You have a sense God is going to continue to expose the false prophets and false teachers of this age who proclaim lies from their newsrooms and classrooms.

You see the newsrooms and universities falling from their high perches as God shakes their trees. You see scientists and teachers promoting ideas so insane they lose all credibility with anyone who has a hint of wisdom or understanding. God is exposing these and other false prophets and false teachers so you have the chance to choose. You have a choice. You can either love the lies or reject and expose the lies. You can choose the truth.

And yet, many people are still following these false prophets and false teachers. The false prophets and teachers are drawing them in. And those who follow the lies enjoy it. They like it that way. They want to follow the false prophets and false teachers.

Look who they’re following. Most scientists, politicians, media personalities, theologians, philosophers, and scholars have strong opinions about topics when they know little or nothing about those topics. And yet, thousands or millions want to follow them if they’re celebrities or authorities. It’s as if those following the false prophets and false teachers are blind and can’t see. They’re in darkness. They love darkness rather than the Light. They hate the Light and turn away from it.

Moralizers

Each moralizer draws a line in the sand and says, “I’m a moral person and I won’t cross this line.” And yet, it’s just a line in the sand. Moralizers look at all the possible evil acts. Then, each moralizer claims certain evil acts are “OK.” Others are “not OK.” That’s the line in the sand. And yet, under certain conditions, any ungodly thinker can move his or her line in the sand. Ungodly thinkers can move the lines because they drew the lines in the first place. They based their lines in the sand on foundations like these:

  • Emotions
  • random thoughts
  • peer pressure
  • inner paradigms
  • interpretations of past experiences
  • interpretations of observations
  • interpretations of the Bible
  • ideas they were taught
  • other changeable thinking

Their lines are arbitrary and moveable, so you can never pin them down. Without truth, they have no real morality, integrity, knowledge, purpose, or meaning. Without truth, their entire world is shakable. They have nothing solid.
