Changed by His Love
1 John 5:9: If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.
I don’t know about you, but many folk whom I have talked to have reached a credibility gap between themselves and the news media, the politicians, and all who are on television today. I’ll be very candid with you that there are certain news commentators whom I won’t listen to any longer. I know that they are doing nothing in the world but giving out propaganda. They are not giving facts. Everything they give is biased and distorted and twisted for a liberal position. Apparently, they are willing even to misinform you, and they are willing to withhold facts to gain their objective.
I have come to the place where it does not matter who they are or to what party they belong. I have no confidence in politicians. Therefore, we are in a place today where it is difficult to receive the witness of men, but the interesting thing is that John Q. Public swallows it hook, line, and sinker. You can tell by the different polls which are taken that a man’s influence or his popularity is determined by what the news media say about him. The biggest frauds in the world can be built up by the media—Hollywood, of course, has done this for years. Most people do receive the witness of men; they are taken in by it. If it is said over television or if it is put into print, they will believe it. There are many people who believe whatever they read or hear, but they will not receive the witness of God! Oh, my friend, the witness of God is greater! 1
Loving Him
Jesus said: “Be my witness.” How can you be a fruitful witness for Him each day?
You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. John 5:39
Loving Others
I can be a witness for Him because His witness is verifiably true.
Make Me Like You
Lord, thank You for being our Faithful and True Savior.
