Truth Hurts - The Tricky Side of Free Speech

The truth often times hurts. The key is in following the Spirit to know when God has opened the heart of a person to hear it, or knowing when God is moving you to slap someone across the face with the double-edged sword of His Word. Otherwise we are casting pearls before swine. Learning to discern according to the Holy Spirit is both simple and difficult at the same time. Simple because God is not the author of confusion, however this world is based on confusion and deception, which we face at every turn. It's a daily, moment-by-moment effort to remain in the faith without falling prey to the influences of the world. I pray that God's children would seek Him with all their heart, mind, soul and strength so as to remain in the simplicity that is in Christ.

Regarding free speech, there are many warnings in the Bible about the power and fire of the tongue. We can think we are using it for good when we are in fact deceiving ourselves. In this day and age, where the Babylonian-style, New Age, NWO religion of tolerant ecumenicism has taken firm root, it is deemed wrong to even say that you are against things like homosexuality, rote nationalistic pride, putting trust in obviously corrupt political leaders or vain, godless, humanist works. The day may come where the very "freedom" people think they are fighting for will backfire on them. I hope they realize the hypocrisy in telling someone they shouldn't express their beliefs because of a mass-accepted belief in so-called tolerance, which is not tolerant at all of anyone speaking out against anything that doesn't fit the status quo being pushed in our media-frenzied culture by a high-level Hegelian Dialectic. Biblical views are becoming viewed as hatred when they are anything but. The masses of people are being manipulated in believing they are standing up for human rights and freedom when what they are really supporting is a system of lies and corruption. Their hearts are rooted in righteousness but are led astray by the hive mentality of the clamoring masses who have been programmed against God by the geopolitical beast storming the world in what I believe are the last of the last days.

What this all means is that honesty is being sacrificed for false security. Freedom is being sacrificed for false claims of peace. The great dichotomy is that this moral free-for-all that has taken root in America (and spread around the globe) is perceived as liberty and justice for all when it tramples on those who want to live truly moral lives. In the end I think we are going to wind up with a strange form of neo-Roman tyranny in which people have voluntarily given themselves to wickedness - a sort of indentured servitude to sin. We see this happening even in Christian churches today where love is being separated from truth one cherry-picked Scripture at a time. One who is seeking the truth will expect to hear things they don't like as a critical part of civil dialog with the goal of mutual edification, which is something that is falling by the wayside these days where people prefer to have their ears tickled.
