I heard Glenn Beck talking about two aspects of “lies”.  At one level, we have politicians and governmental leaders who lie to us.  Mr. Beck illustrated with video proof that we were lied to by Nixon and Clinton in the past, and by Pelosi, Reid, and Obama in the past few months.  The lack of honesty and integrity leads to all kinds of speculation and conspiracy theories regarding our government, some of which are quite outrageous, such as believing the government of the United States participated in and planned for the murder of thousands of our own citizens in the 9/11 attacks.  People who believe that are often called “9/11 truthers”.

    Another aspect of “lies” is people who believe the lying politicians, utterly ignoring the obvious lies of the people in powerful positions that influence our lives.  When people such as Pelosi, Reid, and Obama can blatantly lie and be believed by people, they can do awful things to the country without being held to account.

    Shakespeare said, “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.”  How sad it is that people so frequently refuse to be true to their own selves because they believe in a political agenda.  So, they become willfully blind, and support corrupt people.  It is also sad that people in the church often lie to themselves and hold to beliefs that aren’t in agreement with Scriptures.  Let us be people committed to truth.  Jesus said that if we would continue in the Word, we would know the truth, and the truth would set us free.
