“Sincerity is not a test of truth. Truth is the only test of truth.” Jim Rohn produced this wise statement long ago and it hold true for today. Hitler and Stalin may have been sincere, but they did not stand for truth. Scripture tells us that in the end men will be “always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.”
Today, we hear reports of “fake news” and “alternative facts.” Do we really seek, and find, truth? How do we measure truth?
Truth lasts. Truth is not dependent on today’s culture or who is in office. The economy this year does not alter truth. Truth is accurate and as applicable today as it was 2000 years ago. Gravity is truth; apples still fall to the earth as they always have. Selflessness is truth. It is a highly regarded trait in any society, anywhere.
What other truths do you know? Truth about family, your job, your business, your life goals? Are you seeking truth or accepting what you hear? Do you test “truth” to see if it lasts across time and place?
Truth provides a firm foundation on which you can build a life, family, business… Truth provides light to guide you on the path to peace and joy. Jesus told us “I am the way and the truth and the life.” Are you seeking the truth?
