We have come to treat television as a sort of god, haven't we? If it's on television, it must be true. But if we hear truth via Facebook, iPhone, or from a blogger, we click delete or send it to the trash file.
How much of our learning today is from telecommunications, and not by word of mouth?
Send me an e-mail. Send me a text.
If what you say is true, then I should expect to see it on the six o'clock news.
Our minds have been conditioned to telecommunications, or desensitized from hearing truth by any other method; therefore we have doubt when people speak to us, face to face, or treat them as if they are totally stupid.
When people on television say, "The White House said today..." we pay attention.
When people on television say, "The Vatican said today..." we pay attention.
Tell people lies and they will think you are telling the truth.
Tell people the truth and they will think you are lying.
In my lifetime, I have learned that if you want to have an abundance of friends, do not tell them the truth; instead, tell them some jokes, keep them laughing, play ball, and watch television.
Keep your opinions to yourself.
Keep your comments to yourself.
Keep politics and religion off the radar.
People do not want to be interrupted in the state of their own minds; for in a man's own mind, he is right and everybody else is wrong.
The Word of the Lord says,
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes:
but the LORD pondereth the hearts. (Proverbs 21: 2)
Because of pride, people do not want to hear that they could possibly be wrong; neither do they want to believe that their beliefs could possibly be wrong.
For if a man's mind is his personal oval office, there is no way that he can be wrong, and all of his executive orders are true because his word is the final word, which he stamps with his own seal---as if to say: The king has spoken.
For more than five hundred years after the time of Christ, people took the simple message of Jesus and delivered it to people, face to face and mouth to mouth. They did not have a telecommunications system in those days, and neither did they have Bibles. All they had was the love of God in their hearts and they transmitted God is love to people who had never heard about the love of God.
Today, how many people have never heard God is love spoken to them from people, face to face and mouth to mouth?
