Lassie has finished Timmy's chores. She was worried about his lateness in getting home. As you know she then went to find him. She did find him at the bottom of a dry well. Running 10 miles she found Timmy's dad (he speaks fluent Lassie) and Timmy was rescued! Not a dry eye in the house. As unbelievable as this TV show was, it's even worse now with the "reality" shows. According to the current thread of beliefs regarding "reality" I'll take mine any day. So, what is reality? Let's see, it's different between the believers and non-believers. Take for instance the group of atheists who are busy trying to convince the world that God doesn't exist. If he doesn't exist, why protest? What a waste of time and energy. Unlike Lassie, they don't have a little boy to rescue and a dad who speaks her language.
"Absurd" you say! Yes, it is but wait, that's not all! If you are the 13th caller in the next 13 minutes you will receive, yes FREE, an incredible unbelievable second non-reality just for the asking. Don't delay, time is short for this special deal. This won't last long as we only have so many non-realities to sell. "Now, now" you say; "you are making too much of this non-reality thing." Am I? Non-realities are like eating at an all you can eat buffet! The world is so dependent on non-realties that the truth is so seldom recognized. I'm not talking about whether the earth is round or flat. I'm talking about THE truth. You know, "the buck stops here." or "I'm not a crook!" Yes, non-beliefs have existed every since Adam and Eve at that fruit off that tree that they were forbidden to eat from which was called the "Tree of LIFE" The dilemma being that if they would eat of this fruit, they would have knowledge they had never known. Well, "Duh!" We know how that experiment turned out.
We began with Lassie and have ended up trying to find some sort of sanity anywhere in history. Besides non-belief we come across that little word "truth". That is what tempted Eve when she didn't have respect for God's creating of Adam and the garden they lived in quite well. Truth should never be cloaked in some deal like we find on The Price is Right. And so here we are and there is truth. Never the two would meet. People and society have put so much hype on non-reality that we now find children leaving their day in school so they can protest their teachers not being paid enough all the while we are paying a substitute to teach them the truth. There was one famous moment about 2000 years ago when someone said, "What is truth?" washed his hands and went to bed. What!? How did that happen? Well, the non-beliefs of the non-believers decided to stop the truth by killing it. That turned out bad for them so those who believe today are still the enemy of the non-believable and purveyors of a truth of a lie that justifies their non-existence.
Can you see how and where this is going? Who can we trust? Where can we find morals? Are there any other believers who are willing to stand up and say, "Their are wieners that aren't made by Oscar Meyer! Truth is often bent in order to justify or rationalize our choices. Sometimes that compromise even puts God in a box. At least in their minds. Over the centuries there have been many attempts to make the box and then reduce it's size. All that was accomplished was showing how foolish mankind is and how desperate they are.
Take the pledge to live like there is only one truth. Because that's the only truth we have left intact and believable. "Truly, truly, I say to you..." the truth because He is the way, the truth and life. Amen
