“WINNING WALK”
BY
DR ED YOUNG
Truthful lips will be established forever, but a lying
tongue is only for a moment.
Proverbs 12:19
Proverbs 12:19
Free societies stand or fall on the way they handle truth.
Politicians who lie to the people ultimately are discovered and lose their
ability to lead. Trust is vital for the democratic process. Without God and His
absolute truth, political systems determine their own standards, and change
them at will. One communist-era dissenter wrote that truth was whatever the
state declared it to be at the moment. God’s truth, revealed in His Word,
is established forever, and upholds individuals, families and their
institutions, no matter what.
Andrei Amalrik, Will the Soviet Union Survive
Until 1984? New York: Harper Colophon Books, 1970
