The Depths of Hatred

Proverbs 26:28 (BES) A lying tongue hates the truth; and an unguarded mouth causes tumults.

Proverbs deals repeatedly with the evil around us.  I hope you are able to understand and accept that.  Here it gets more specific in how evil works.  Lies, lies, and more lies.  We are surrounded by people who hate, literally hate, truth.

We think of the media.  I hope you have come to learn that you cannot trust what you read in most newspapers or magazines.  I hope you realize that the Internet is not much better and that is doubled down as AI comes into the mix.  AI may not be able to deliberately lie but the problem is it doesn’t know the difference often between truth and falsehood.

One of the problems with truth is that you cannot mold it and manipulate to meet your needs.  You wonder why journalist lie so much and why politicians love to tell their side of things?  It’s because if they were honest, they would not win and they’re out to win.

So?  Be an agent of truth.  Be a candle of righteousness in a dark room.  Keep in mind that one of the things that Jesus said about himself was that He was the truth.
