Bearing No False Report

“You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.  Exodus 23:1

Now this is a law that might be useful in our age! We have such an urge to bring the news, any news, to one another that sometimes we may get caught up in spreading some bum scoop. Hmm, that term is a little dated I see. Bum scoop is the term we used to describe those in the military back in my time when they had proved to be bearers of false reports too many times to count. Scoop was obviously the term for right or correct news. We will not here attempt to explain 'scoop' of what substance of course. In the days of Internet news and social media, we have a serious task ahead of us in not falling for or being the bearers of false reports. It is so difficult because some of the reporters are those of organizations once trusted for accurate reporting of the news! And other false news is so well crafted by those up to no good, that we have trouble seeing the deceit without help. 

Maybe there is some good news that we can count on every time we pass it though? 

Yes, yes there is, witness for the Lord Jesus that  you are. We have the good news of our Lord's salvation to pass along to all who will listen. We have the good news of God's grace through faith in Christ. We have the story of a resurrection from His day, and one to come for all who believe in Him. We even have a way out of the mess the world seems to be plunging toward with all due speed! And He said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."  (John 14:6)

Yay Jesus! The Good News of Life Eternal!
