The world is growing worse in everything all the time. The earth is groaning because of the sin that is on it.
It is not only the environment that is being contaminated it is the truth that is being contaminated with half-truths and out-and-out lies.
Both are lies, some are just more easily spotted because they are blatant, and others are hard to discern because they have just enough truth to fool those who are not wise.
Proverbs 12:22
"Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are His delight."
Proverbs 6:16-19
"There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."
If we ask Christ in us about everything and read His Word we will be able to discern the truth and reject the lies.
