Do we believe everything we read in the newspapers? What about the information given on TV news or radio talk shows?<\/p>\n
A Roper survey showed that even though Americans overwhelmingly (80 percent) believe that the press is essential to a free society, only 2 percent believe everything a newspaper reporter tells them.<\/p>\n
For TV news anchors, the trust level is only at 5 percent. And for radio talk-show hosts, that figure drops to 1 percent. Justified or not, it seems that we don’t trust our news sources.<\/strong><\/p>\n There is one news source, however, that will pass the test of 100-percent reliability. It’s the biblical record of the “good news” of Jesus Christ (Acts 13:26-39 NIV). Delivered by men whose words were inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Bible has been safeguarded from error (2 Peter 1:21). It is the absolute truth (John 17:17) about man, God (Isaiah 45:5-6,14,18), sin (1 John 3:4), and salvation (Acts 4:10-12).<\/p>\n King David wrote about the reliability of God’s Word. In Psalm 19, he called God’s law perfect, His testimony sure, and His judgments “true and righteous altogether” (Psalm 19:7,9).<\/p>\n But even more important than revering God’s Word, we must learn it and live it!<\/strong> Read the Gospels, pore over the Epistles, ponder the Psalms and the Prophets. The Bible has news we can trust and news we can use!<\/strong><\/p>\n Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n The following is a poem from an unknown author that expresses our need for God’s word:<\/p>\n “O God, in whom our trust we place, The Bible – Read<\/strong> it through; Apply<\/strong> its truths; Teach<\/strong> it to others!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do we believe everything we read in the newspapers?
