January 29 The TRUTH is Always the TRUTH Isaiah 5:20
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina…“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. (Isaiah 5:20)
Is it possible that “entitled and arrogant insanity” has overtaken our land? Is it possible that individuals have the idea that they can oppose the “laws of the land,” by any means possible, with no personal responsibility for the outcome? Is it possible that “Hatred” for one man, and what he represents, can cause, seemingly, intelligent individuals to act in a manner that is opposed to common sense and expected behavior? How can an individual shout to the top of their lungs that the “Law” should be exercised for one person, while, at the same time, violently opposing the enforcement of others? Hatred, Sinfulness, Arrogance, Prejudice, Bias, Twisted Thoughts and Behaviors conspire to create a “Culture” that is unproductive and by its nature, destructive! How can well-informed people look at a particular set of circumstances and conclude two diametrically opposing conclusions? Is TRUTH the TRUTH or is TRUTH determined by our own bias and narrow view? You see, when TRUTH is Fluid, and adjusts to whatever the circumstances happen to present, then everything becomes an UNTRUTH! Sadly, ever so sadly, the Holy Scriptures speak to and foretell of a time when “Right will be viewed as Wrong & Good will be defines as Bad, and Darkness will be preferred over Light,” because Light always highlights the wrong, the evil, the sinfulness! I witnessed the exercise of this twisted thought playing out in a conversation between two people that were sharing my general space in Lowe’s Foods in Knightdale, just a few days ago. This seemingly nice lady said, “Good Morning, Young lady,” and this “Lady” flipped out! “How dare you assume that I am a lady! My pronouns are ‘They/Them’ and I will Thank you to address me as such!” Shocked, this nice lady walked away without saying a word! You would have thought that that was the end, but no! This Young Lady, who was offended by her reality, followed this nice lady and continued to harass her about the way in which she addressed her! Finally, the nice lady stopped and looked this confused he/she/person in the eye and declared, “I am so sorry that I offended you! Please know that that was not my intention. I was just being nice!” What was even more bizarre was the next comment out of this nice lady’s mouth, “Please tell your mother that I said hello!” I walked away amazed, confused and astonished that this seemingly nice and reasonable young lady could be so sensitive and so ready to force her delusions on others! Here is a FACT: As my Dear Mother would declare, from time to time; “The TRUTH is the TRUTH, and it will STAND when the WORLD is on FIRE!” Regardless of your misguided and arrogant truth, the REAL TRUTH is found in the pages of God’s Holy Word! When you do not have a foundation of Truth, then your feelings and circumstances and attitudes will always dictate your TRUTH, and it will constantly be changing! The TRUTH, the REALITY will NEVER be FLUID! Be Aware that Satan is fully active and is looking for an opportunity to deceive and distort and to disrupt you, so Stay Strong, Stay Focused, and continue to claim the Victory in Jesus … REMEMBER – THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
Postscript: (A Personal Thought) - Isn’t it interesting that the Immigration & Customs Enforcement Federal Agency is operating across the United States, with little fanfare, doing their sworn duty, yet in Minnesota, specifically, Minneapolis / St. Paul, the political leaders are calling their presence, an invasion. WHY? Could it be that exposed fraud and political corruption that has been made known has motivated leadership to organize, promote and orchestrate the protests, with the goal of deflecting from the chaos of corruption? Please be aware of the motivations of those who would have you believe that Evil is Good and Common-Sense Standards are Evil. The tragic deaths of two individuals participating in these organized protests are tragically terrible, yet their personal decision to participate in the opposition of an authorized Federal Law Enforcement Agency, in the fulfillment of their sworn duties, injecting themselves into this situation, contributed to their tragic deaths. Did these individuals have any personal responsibility in the circumstances that led to their deaths? Do the government leaders of Minnesota have any responsibility in their deaths, or is it the exclusive fault of the “Trump led Federal Invasion Force?” Should we, as a nation, disregard specific illegal activities while targeting other activities that are deemed appropriate, to promote or distract from the reality of evil? As I witness the insanity unfolding in Minnesota, I must stop and ponder why has this display of Hatred, Violence, Insanity and Twisted Evil Behaviors concentrated itself in this beautiful part of the United States, with amazing people that populate this special land? PLEASE PRAY for those who are protesting, volunteers and paid protesters! PLEASE PRAY for those who are unwilling participants in the chaos that is 2026 Minnesota and PRAY for those who continue to promote, fund, and instigate the violence, hatred and confusion!
