A lack of truth is ever increasing in this world. It is all around us, in our workplaces, our schools. In politics, in religions, in our relationships, and in our families. It is Satans weapon against things that are wholesome, uplifting and true. We hope and pray that our children and grandchildren will speak truth and develope the attribute of honesty.
Seeking after truth in all situations prevents confusion and mis-judgement. Unreliable sources of information can even cause bigger problems such as irrational fears, stress and even physical sickness. A lie will never become truth. Truth will always bring feelings of peace.
One thing I have learned in my year and a half of being on facebook is that there is so much out there that is far from truth, even so distorted that it is easy for me to scroll past it. But maybe not so easy for some. On a positive note there are reliable sources for seeking truth. As individuals we need to decide who and what we will trust. You may have a trusted friend, a parent or grandparent. You can listen to your own thoughts and feelings when seeking truth.
Many believe in Spiritual truth which comes through prayer and scripture study. We are all born with the light of Christ which helps us discern what is true. Gaining a testimony of Spiritual truth requires replacing our fears with faith. I testify that we have a Father in Heaven, a Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost whose job is to teach truth. They speak only Truth. They are Truth!
