Smelling Bad and Looking Dumb
There is something in the American air today that most of us have never smelled before. For example, just a few years ago, almost everyone understood that males use the men’s room, females the women’s. Now, confusion is in the air. An evil conspiracy is afloat, as those with questionable morals breathe together a noxious odor; yet finding it enjoyable.Today, facts are no longer important; narrative is all the rage. Subjective narrative replaces the hard truth of reality. At one time, the society was able to recognize truth. We knew when something didn’t smell just right. Today, we are blind to truth. God continues to reveal it, but we are insensible to that revelation. It would appear we are no longer able to sniff out the truth. The modern press sure seems incapable of discovering truth.Perhaps that is because truth is no longer defined by our Creator. We have created a new world, a world free of facts, morals, and free of God Himself. As people suppress the truth of God’s existence, they also reject the hard facts of the reality, He has created.In this week’s edition of PathLight, we will be reminded that God’s people have one-book, so it should be easy to speak with one-voice, but apparently it is not. This book tells us how to be wise in a foolish world. This book tells us what should smell noxious to us. This is the standard, and when applied, it will keep us from smelling bad and looking dumb in the eyes of the righteous.
