Verifying facts is a daily responsibility for educators. However, when the truth conflicts with one’s beliefs, theories or worldview, accuracy may be altered to coincide with your ideology. Therefore, as individuals search for absolutes on the internet, don’t be surprise if truth is being suppressed.
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. – John 16:13
Recently, Google has changed their algorithm for their search engine. Initially, Google listed web sites based upon how many hits each received. Thus, the most popular and trending topics would appear from highest to lowest. In an opening monologue, Rush Limbaugh illustrated how Google caved after Chinese authorities complained about receiving negative press. Subsequently, Google’s new algorithm runs based upon which sites their company believes to be most truthful. Unfortunately, this once great company has been corrupted by declining ethics, now a pawn for the liberal media.
Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. – 2 Timothy 2:7
Whether you are in the process of beginning a research paper, sorting through controversial issues or trying to broaden your understanding about life, make sure you do your due diligence. According to 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22, test everything that you see, hear or read. As your quest for truth continues, cling to that which is true, yet avoid any kind of evil. Although skeptics may question or scoff at your findings, ask the Lord to direct your steps as this journey proceeds. Thus, you can go to sleep with a clear conscience, knowing the conclusion you reached derived from a quest for truth.
