Recently, horsemeat has found its way into the food chain in Great Britain. Burgers have been removed from shop shelves after testing revealed horse DNA in the burgers. This meat was flying under false colors, not having been properly labeled. It seems we have to be very careful what we eat these days. And likewise, it’s a good idea to be vigilant, what material we read and view. A lot of falsehood is “masquerading” under the guise of truth. The Psalmist of old reminds us that “truth endures to all generations.” Yes, some may believe that truth is only subjective, not objective – and that it depends on one’s perspective. But that would mean there is no horsemeat in our burgers if we are unaware of it, or that there is no moon unless we can see it. No, truth is truth, error is error. To suggest there are no absolutes can lead only to chaos in our thinking and what we believe.
