Prodigal: What is the truth?
This is from the book The Revolution That Changed the World by Dr. David Jeremiah
Charles Colson, who once served as special counsel to President Richard Nixon, wrote, “My personal experiences in the Watergate scandal convinces me of the historic proof of the resurrection.” He goes on to explain that President Nixon’s closest advisers conspired to keep the illegal break-in secret. The conspiracy unraveled three weeks later, however, when Nixon’s legal counsel John Dean, fearing a prison sentence, went to the prosecutors and offered to testify in exchange for immunity “to save his own skin.” Other conspirators followed suit, bringing down the Nixon presidency. Colson continues:
Think of it: the most powerful men around the president of the United States could not keep a lie for three weeks. And you’d have me believe that the twelve apostles–powerless, persecuted, exiled, many martyred, their leader Peter crucified upside down–these common men, gave their lives for a lie, without ever breathing a word to the contrary? Impossible…..People will die for something they believe to be true; but men will never die for something they know to be false.
The lies will be exposed it just takes time. A lie does not have the power of the truth. A lie will not stand the test of time.
Matthew 18:7
Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to the man by whom the offence cometh!
