Knowing What is True and What is a Lie

Today we drove up to Trout Lake, Washington, for a memorial service for a family member. We got back home at 10:00 pm. Even though it was late, I read my daily commitment and goal of 12 chapters in my Bible. I don’t do that because I am supposed to, but because of all God’s supernatural Word does in me, one of which is to know what is true and false in the world. So much stuff is spewed out by various sources today, and very little of it agrees with anything else. In all the stuff, some are true, but most are from the pit of hell. How do I know what is true and what is false? There are many deceived people today, and I don’t want to be one of them. The Bible is a supernatural book; it is the source of truth, and those who read and study it will know what is true and what is a lie.

John 8:31-32 So Jesus was saying, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

Hebrews 5:11-14 Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the Word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

Living today is like walking through a minefield; only those who know the truth will walk in freedom.
