DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Suppressed Truth
Romans 1:18-19
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them."
The struggle between God's truth and man's "truth" has been going on since Eve rejected God's revealed truth and followed her own "truth" (or, in reality, Satan's lie). In happens on the individual level and on the cultural level. America is in the middle of this battle. God's truth is being suppressed (held back, restrained, hindered) in favor of humanism's idea of what is true. This is evident in the political realm and also in the judicial rulings of our courts. As Paul wrote in verse 25, we have "exchanged the truth of God for a lie" so that unrighteousness and immorality (as in abortion and homosexuality) are now accepted as good. It reminds me of Isaiah's lament: "Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter" (Isaiah 59:14). Oh, God, help us for we face Your wrath because we have suppressed and forsaken Your truth.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: God's wrath awaits those who reject His revealed truth.
Have a "truth" day. Love you.
