I get sick of reading and hearing editorialists interpret world events based on their political bias. Every national news network has its own slant on what is truth and they accuse all others of spreading propaganda. I would like to hear bipartisan truth. The Psalmist, looking for absolute truth wrote, “Show me how you work, God” (Psm 25:4).
Eugene Peterson, in Run With The Horses, “We get our interpretation of politics, economics and morals from journalists when we should be getting only information. The meaning of the world is most accurately given to us by God’s Word.” Our world is God’s creation. We are God’s creation. We live according to God’s design. Yet, we get our information from people who do not know God and do now want us knowing God as well.
As children we learned basic truths about life. As teenagers we learned everything that really mattered. As adults we came to realize that our knowledge was pretty limited. As we mature we come to know that our knowledge and abilities are limited, we are dependent on the world around us for the resources of life. This dependence is where God begins to teach us about his TRUTH - the ultimate and complete TRUTH. Not bent, or massaged, or spun, or slanted. Just basic truth that will last for all time. After you read your editorial page, open your Bible for a true interpretation of world events.
