IT WORKS BOTH WAYS

Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945), chief propagandist for the Nazi regime, famously said, “If a lie is big enough and told often enough, people will eventually believe it.” Tyrant-types have always known this and acted accordingly. Lies, lies and more lies, repeated again and again—there has never been a more satanic strategy for bringing people into bondage (Gen. 3; John 8:44).

Americans have lived for many years now under a Leftist-dominated government, and in a society dominated by woke activists. Pages could be filled with the outrageously obvious lies that have been told repeatedly to the public by government, with the “experts” and the media trotted out to “verify” and regurgitate them over and over again. Sociopathic and pathological liars now constitute most of our ruling class and run our institutions.

One doesn’t have to look far for an example of how successful the “tell a big enough lie often enough” strategy has been in America. The policies and practices of the Democratic Party and woke ideology are as godless and evil as anything can be. The satanic aim of both has been to make the American people, in general, a people who “call evil good and good evil” (Isa. 5:20). Yet, based on voting records, close to half of our population either emphatically or ignorantly embrace, endorse or tolerate this destructive and damnable evil (codified in the Democratic Party Platform), placing themselves in the category of those who ”loveth and maketh a lie” (Rev. 22:15).

The good news is that telling the Truth over and over again is more powerful in effect than the repetition of lies, and the more it is told, the more people and things will be turned right-side up by it  (Acts 17:6). Read Isa. 53 and 1 Cor. 15:20-28; 2 Cor. 9:6). In the Gospel, we have a big Truth to tell again and again. By God’s grace, the recent presidential election has extended and encouraged opportunity for spreading the Truth that “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

But all deceit and error, wherever it exists, and regardless of what is involved, needs to be confronted, and exposed as fervently, fearlessly and frequently as possible. This is the responsibility of those who know God’s Word and can discern right from wrong. Every issue, whether it involves religion, politics, the culture or a personal relationship, etc. is an “equal opportunity” for examination by, and the application of, Truth. See Isa. 8:20; Heb. 5:14; Phil. 1:9, 110; 1 John 4:1). Lies enfeeble and enslave people, but the Truth empowers and emancipates them. The day of lies and liars will one day come to an end, but Truth is eternal (Heb. 4:12; John 8:32; Isa. 40:8).
