Scripture: John 17:17 “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.”
Every headline is a tug-of-war. Opinions scream. Truth whispers. Which one do you follow?
Division is everywhere. Politics, protests, scandals. People act like winning the argument is more important than living in the truth. But Jesus did not pray that we would be the loudest. He prayed we would be sanctified in truth, His truth.
Truth is not a weapon for destroying your opponent. If you use it that way, you are already losing. Truth is meant to heal, to anchor, to expose lies in us before it ever exposes lies in others.
The cost of ignoring God’s truth is subtle but deadly. Outrage replaces wisdom. Bias replaces discernment. Comfort replaces conviction. That is why we must return to the Word daily, so we do not confuse noise for direction.
Application
- Before sharing your opinion online, ask: does this reflect Christ or just me?
- Let scripture be the first voice you hear each morning, not breaking news.
- Refuse to twist truth into a weapon. Speak it with humility, live it with consistency.
Prayer
Lord, when the world shouts its version of truth, teach me to recognize Yours. Make me bold enough to stand for it, humble enough to live it, and faithful enough not to twist it into my own agenda. Amen.
Truth does not scream with outrage, it whispers with clarity. God calls us to live by His Word, not by the noise of the world.
