All belief systems are not equal. Yes, I know it’s not politically correct to say that, but truth does not come down on the side of political correctness or expediency. Truth stands for itself in the power of its immutability. Truth is, in its essence, Christ who is, “…the Way, the Truth, and the Life…” (John 14:6) without Whom, no one will see the Father.
We delude ourselves and we delude those who are lost when we convolute God’s unchanging plan of salvation and insist that any sincere seeker will attain Heaven, or that there are many paths to Heaven. That lie, though it resonates comfortably in the mind of Western man who has fallen away from his once stalwart commitment to faith in Christ and his resolve to share His gospel, is part of today’s barrage of “doctrines of devils” (I Timothy 4:1).
We live in an age when truth has been turned on its head. As the scripture tells us, we, “…call evil good and good evil” (Isaiah 5:20). We are among those who, “Professing themselves to be wise, have become fools” Romans 1:22. Our leaders, our parents—our pastors!—have lost their spiritual compass and we are adrift on a sea of empty promises and demonic deception. In having turned our back upon the TRUTH, we are swallowed into the abyss created by lies.
There is truth in the declaration of Job’s ‘comforters’ which says, “God does not take His eyes off the righteous; He enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever” Job 36:7. We find our economy, our government, our families, our world unraveling at breakneck speed as we pursue the wantonness that brought us to this abysmal turn of events. We shall continue our downward plunge until we accept the Lord’s advice, “…In returning (to Jesus)…shall you be saved…” Isaiah 30:15.
