Values

As times for political races begin, candidates start making their pitches on their so-called opinions about what the people of that particular state, county, city or wherever they live seem to need. I find it interesting how they will use the word “values.” They’ll say that they are representing the people with their values in mind.

Right there ought to be the first indication that they’re not truthful because that statement is only partially true. No one can represent the values of all the people or even most of the people. There are only two scales that can be used when people decide their values: their own way or God’s way.

If the people’s values are voted and a judge overturns them, even though the issue passed, then the judge ruled not on the people’s voted values but on the judge’s opinion of their own values.

You see, values are nothing more than our own opinions. What gives anything value is what our opinion of it is. In this world there are only two opinions on any matter, God’s or yours. And if the two disagree with each other, then you can say God’s truth or Satan’s lie. You can’t have God’s value and twist His words to fit your purpose.

This happens all the time, but it is not going to change God’s truth. When He says sin is sin, it is. And no court anywhere can overturn His truth. Because He alone is Supreme above manmade opinions, and God alone will judge the outcome of the decisions that are made.
