In my last blog entry, I talked about how we in the natural organic whole foods community need to stop believing the lies we love to believe. The only way not to avoid believing a lie is to be infused with the truth. Truth is a person more than a correct set of answers, facts or honest information. Bearing this in mind consider the 40 years prior to the American war of independence, Americans were infused with the truth in what is called the first great awakening. Because Americans were in fused with the person of the truth they became free inside and out. As the Christian scripture teaches, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:32) part of this saying is still written on one of the structures at Harvard. Later when lies and the force of arms came against our fathers to tyrannize and forcefully oppress them they fought it off and became a free and independent people. In other words, Christ who lived in them caused them to rise up and receive His liberty which He provides to them who receive Him. It wasn’t cheap and easy but Christ still made it happen.
As a result Americans became truth seekers because the person of truth was in everything they thought did and established. Indeed, it was a glorious independence for those who were governed by it, but some hated the very thought of ordinary people being free to govern themselves and they set about to destroy it.
Those who hate the truth despise America and Americans. Traditionally Americans are viewed as Puritan Christians and are despised because of their Christianity. This is something we have lost in general and also in the natural organic whole foods community. Now is the time to know the truth. Jesus Christ is truth, and He will set us free, both as a nation and as the natural organic whole foods community in particular.
Let me know your thoughts, by commenting below, and tomorrow I will discuss more on those who are lying to us because they hate the Christian America we once were.
