What's Controversional about Standing up for Truth?



CONTROVERSIAL

DEEP CHRISTIAN VALUES

HOMOPHOBIC

DOOMSDAY THEORY

CONSPIRACY THEORY


CRAZY CULT MEMBER


DANGEROUS BELIEFS



What do all of the following words have in common? They have been used recently by the mainstream media (www.tmz.com) to describe the moral beliefs of a new Christian convert who has taken a stand for truth. So what is so "Controversial" about standing up for something these days? Isn't it wise to stand up for something in our life? Or should be just blend in with society and adopt those values and morals that go with the times? 



For instance, the New Bible of Psychology is no longer classifying certain "Temper Trantrums" as Bi-Polar, etc., nor is it including Homosexuality as a disorder as it had in the past. Times change, and so every field of study must keep up with the times or be left in the sphere of irrelevance. But what about truth and faith? Aren't they something that is worth standing up for, or are they merely miniscule ancient creeds that need to be eroded and buried in ancient catacombs and graves of non-importance? The truth could indeed be closer that we imagine.

Unless, we stand for something, we run the risk of falling for everything . If we allow society to dictate our views, we may end up espousing loose moral values, being Sexually promiscuous, Dishonest, implementing Situation Ethics Machiavellianism (the end justifies the means), adopting Religious Plurality and Universalism.


Truth exists, and it must be bought and never sold at any cost
. So my question is, "What do you believe to be truth that you are willing to stand up for?" Is there any Truth that you are willing to die for?" ... In our personal, organizational, and societal efforts to be relevant, we run the risk of abandoning truths, both moral and religious, and may end up actually becoming 'INSIGNIFICANT" and "IRRELEVANT".


People today are searching for truth, purpose, and meaning. While America may not be religious, it is definitely spiritual. People are searching for God and for truth. Someone who stands and believes in something greater than themselves is more likely to live with more purpose, meaning, and significance, than one who doesn't.  


There are three things we can be sure of in in our lives:  Number one, God exists. Number two, "I'm not god". Number three, "Your not god either".  

So let's go in search of truth even if it means being labeled controversial. Let's stand and live for something. Let's find something that we are willing to defend as truth, and even die for if necessary. After all, MLK Jr. once said, "You have not yet learned to live, until you've found something that you are willing to die for!" Let's examine everything that seems suspect and counterfeit, and let's buy, love,and share the truth. Buy the truth at any cost. Love truth more than life itself. Share the truth at every opportunity. Live your life with a purpose and mission. Today can be that day for both you and me.
