Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him. Hebrews 9:28 NLT

Time for Truth\n

Reality TV is anything but real. In this generation that is exchanging truth for a lie and good for evil, drama is also being swapped for reality and being labeled as \u201cgood.\u201d A good example is Bruce Jenner, an Olympic decathlon hero, exchanging his male body for breasts and a feminized face. With it, he exchanged the name Bruce for \u201cCaitlyn,\u201d a name that means \u201cpurity.\u201d\n

Why? Jenner told Vanity Fair magazine, a prophetic \u201ccircus of worthlessness,\u201d that as Bruce, he was always telling lies, but as Caitlyn, he doesn\u2019t have any lies. Mind you, he says this while trying to keep his male genitalia from spilling out of his satin corset, and nobody questions it! Nobody points out how ridiculous the whole notion is because selfish drama is celebrated as \u201ccourageous\u201d and \u201cauthentic\u201d in our pop culture.\n

What\u2019s wrong with this? The truth is, there are no lies with what he says if you simply reverse the meaning of the word \u201ctruth\u201d and the meaning of the word \u201clie.\u201d The book of Romans tells us about people who do this, and apparently, Paul was talking about us.\n

\u201cWho changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator.\u201d\u00a0 Romans 1:25\n

Today, anything dramatic that makes you feel good through selfish ambition is called \u201cgood.\u201d It will be celebrated even if destructive. However, it\u2019s not celebrated in heaven.\n

I am not bothered by Jenner\u2019s lifestyle or his decisions about his own body. He will stand before God and answer for that on his own. I feel no need to protest him, to be mean, or anything other than respectful if I ever meet him. I do object to the evil of society\u2019s mandate that demands I call his lifestyle pure. God demands I do the opposite. I would much rather be on God\u2019s side than on the side of Hollywood. Are you on the side of right?\n

\u2026who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.\u00a0 Romans 1:32","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Time for Truth

With it, he exchanged the name Bruce for “Caitlyn,” a name that means “purity.”

Why? Jenner told Vanity Fair magazine, a prophetic “circus of worthlessness,” that as Bruce, he was always telling lies, but as Caitlyn, he doesn’t have any lies. Mind you, he says this while trying to keep his male genitalia from spilling out of his satin corset, and nobody questions it! Nobody points out how ridiculous the whole notion is because selfish drama is celebrated as “courageous” and “authentic” in our pop culture.

What’s wrong with this? The truth is, there are no lies with what he says if you simply reverse the meaning of the word “truth” and the meaning of the word “lie.” The book of Romans tells us about people who do this, and apparently, Paul was talking about us.

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

It’s time to take things the world calls “good” and trade the truth in God’s Word for the lie of the world. I invite the Holy Spirit into my soul to guide me into all truth, and to give me the courage to stand up and declare it.
