Seek Truth...and You Will Find It!

One of the purposes of writing these blogs is to get all of us to think more deeply about certain things, to deal with ideas that are sometimes profound in their implications, and to examine our own place in the midst of our civilization.

Does that sound a bit “heavy” to you? That’s because it is. You see, the survival of our civilization depends on you and I holding fast to truth, maintaining the highest values in our daily activity, being willing to take a stand when we see things that are clearly wrong, teaching children good behavior and proper manners, respect for others, and kindness -  and modeling those things ourselves.

At this moment, our civilization is threatened because of the massive shift away from truth and morality upon which the very foundations of our nation rest. The divisiveness among our human organizations, people groups, political parties, and generations is alarming, and the fires of anger and division are being stoked by our so-called “leaders” to hate and despise each other, augmented by a media that seeks spectacle, rage, and conflict among us.

President Ronald Reagan said it best: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”

What you and I do to protect our freedom will help determine if the generations coming after us will have a country worth living in. Stop following those who would mislead us. Turn off the media (electronic, social, print, et al) and turn on your mind. Seek truth…and you will find it.
