Truths That Still Speak

Truth is not an idea that changes with time. It does not bend to opinion or convenience. Consensus does not determine what is true, nor what is moral. Law is not truth, even when designed to encourage certain behaviors or discourage others. Truth exists as it exists—beyond perception or belief. It binds humanity together only when it refuses to conform to culture, feeling, or desire.

Truth does not morph or adapt. Pursuing and identifying it with wisdom, discernment, and love is the most worthwhile pursuit. All hope lies in truth. It is the only thing worth placing faith and trust in. The only solution to division is humility and submission to what is right, good, and true. Truth does not conform to what we want or how we feel. It exists beyond us, and thank goodness it does—otherwise everything would descend into chaos.

The Character of Truth

Trust cannot happen if truth is not spoken. Vulnerability, honesty, commitment, forgiveness, and willingness are the fruit that come from speaking truth. The truth does not change. It is the only thing that can bring true unity. Transparency is true intimacy—when you can bear all that is ugly and real and true and still be loved afterward, you find a deeper understanding built through vulnerability.

Imagine if contracted hourly rates changed based on feelings: “That was true, but it’s inconvenient; I’m just not feeling it anymore.” Truth does not change with time. When we lose truth, justice always fails. “All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true,” said Jesus of Nazareth. The truth has always existed, though many still need to take their blinders off to see it—or to hear it spoken honestly in a place where humor reveals what culture hides.

Effort, Integrity, and Wisdom

“Talent without work is nothing. Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard. What you know must affect what you do, or failure is your future. Always Take Action.” Effort is sacred because it reflects discipline. “Hard work wins. You get out of life only what you put into it. You are not in control of the outcome, but you are one hundred percent in control of the effort.”

“You can never get something for nothing. In fact, most of the time when you set out to get something for nothing, you end up getting nothing for something.” The biggest mistake you can make is failing to make one. Learning for the sake of learning is meaningless; you must have a passion for knowledge.

Wisdom begins with humility. “Practice being the last to speak.” Listen before you speak, and think before you act. The cost of cheapness—whether in effort, integrity, or people—is always higher than the cost of doing what is right the first time. Mistakes are not failures unless you refuse to learn from them. Inaction, driven by fear of mistakes, is the greatest barrier to success.

Faith, Identity, and Purpose

Sometimes God’s greatest act of judgment is allowing us to have what we demand. Yet even when He gives in, He never gives up. He has not given up on you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. He knit you together in your mother’s womb. He who started a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us. Surely He is with us always, even to the end of the age.

God’s love never changes. He never lies. He keeps His promises. What He offers is not safety but meaning.

Closing Reflection

There is truth, and there is opinion. Opinion that does not align with truth is delusion. Truth grounds reality and maintains order. Delusion distorts order, breeds chaos, and still calls itself truth. Truth is always beneficial. Delusion is always harmful.

These are not just words; they are anchors for sanity in a world of confusion. Seek truth. Speak it. Live it. Let your actions prove your convictions, for everything else will fade, but truth remains.
