In a multi-cultural democratic society truth must matter more than socio-economic statuses if democracy is to endure. More importantly, citizens regardless of socio- economic status must spiritually understand the power of words, because: “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” (John 1:1-3). God became a human being in Jesus Christ bringing salvation to all individuals because of the original sin in the Garden of Eden. Therefore, God’s truth is more powerful than the devil’s lie, because truth is eternal. Truth creates its own energy. A lie runs on borrowed energy.
Sadly, we have an awful lot of MAGA Americans that must spiritually learn the power of words, because words can hurt, heal or inspire. This is why the Bible declares: “Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” (Colossians 4: 5-6).
In America, it’s spiritually wise not to respond to foolishness in kind, unless you want to appear foolish yourself. Always tell others the truth and shame the devil. The devil is a liar. More importantly, he has already been defeated by Jesus Christ. Having power without a spiritual moral purpose drives individuals devilishly insane. Hence, life without moral purpose is the epitome of insanity.
This is precisely why America has always had problems living- up to the cardinal spiritual- moral truths embedded in the Preamble to the U. S. Constitution: “that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed.”
Glory to God! Government should ensure Rights, not abridge rights and human dignity. The Trump-MAGA Cult believes in abridging human rights/ human dignity and equal protection under law, because they do not spiritually know: “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8: 2-4). Isms are schisms. Schisms divide. Truth unites.
America, truth can liberate us from racism, sexism, and classism.
