Proverbs 10:9
“He
who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be
found out.” What happens to
this great nation when a humorist like Will Rogers could say something like
this, and it’s on the spot? "If you
ever injected truth into politics you have no politics." I
believe that a man/woman of integrity has honesty and truthfulness as the
foundation of life. They walk upright before both God and man, and yet
today in many circles of our great nation they are despised, and even declared
foolish. Has truth gone the way of the CD players in laptops, they are
still a few around but not many in use?
Let me share
examples from a few Presidents of the United States of America; Bill Clinton
when before a court in the Monica Lewinsky case, made this statement to
Independent Counsel Solomon “Sol” Wisenberg. “It depends on what the meaning of
the word ‘is’ is.” Clinton explained that if “is” means “never has been” that is
one thing; but if “is” means “there is none currently” then the statement by
Mr. Bennett was correct. The Press in the USA was so proud of his reply
and once more honored him as the king of spin.
Now when I was a
kid, we would spin a top, or spin around, but the press could not allow that
definition, so they renamed it to the shaping of the public opinion. In
fact, it is a ball face lie? The next noteworthy subject is President
Obama, and he was not Bill Clinton, it seemed the press took all his statements
as gospel, like this one; "If you like your health care plan, you
can keep it," President Barack Obama said -- many times -- of his landmark
new law. Over 4 million Americans found out he told another ball face
lie. Could it be we drifted so far from the man/woman of integrity and
had no understanding of the Commandments of our Creator, we are as a nation
teetering on the edge of a cliff?
A quote from God's
only Son; “I am the way and the truth
and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)
