The Real Truth
One can read very positive comments regarding the recovery and growth of our economy, or one can read just the opposite. Where is the real Truth? Our President continues to speak in terms that lead us to believe that he is well in control and will bring everything to a rosy state of affairs if we will just do what he says, wait with patience, and believe what appears to be unbelievable.
On the other hand, there are shocking things that one can read, and it is easy to dismiss them, or, believe them, and many are caught in the middle not sure what is the real truth.
Here’s an example of the latter: Lee Bellinger in Human Events Online writes:
“As the shocking confidential information contained in this briefing shows, the threat of social meltdown and chaos is so large a domestic law-enforcement arm of the U.S. military (referred to by The Army Times as the “Consequence Management Response Force”) has been created to deal with what U.S. officials believe to be a coming, unprecedented wave of massive social chaos.
“Later I’ll show you why many Washington insiders (including officials directly involved in homeland security) are personally making emergency preparations for social chaos. In addition, outgoing Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson told Sen. James Inhofe and Rep. Brad Sherman that so much financial mayhem lies ahead U.S. troops may have to impose martial law to deal with social unrest.
“A new report by the Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute states flatly the U.S. military must prepare for “a violent, strategic dislocation inside the United States” that could be provoked by “unforeseen economic collapse” or “loss of functioning political and legal order.”
So, what are you going to believe? Are you going to make plans pursuant to your beliefs? The real Truth is that God is still in control. Nothing escapes Him nor is He ever surprised. While either of the above scenarios may play out, we can have absolute confidence that He will return to claim His Bride (the Church). Are you prepared for that? That’s the real issue.
