When will we Bible-believing Christians see the depth of our demise?  We’re no longer the clean-cut sheriff guarding the B-Western’s lonely town.  We’re the snake-oil poison’s grizzled peddler.

Think of some passages from our beloved book: John 1:14, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth;” John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me;” John 7:18, “He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him” (emphasis added).

Get it?  Truth embeds Christ.  Lies screech like nails on his chalkboard, which is why he growls at his opponents: “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire.  He was a murderer, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him.  When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).
