Jesus and his disciples went around telling the truth that exposed the hypocrisy and corruption of the religious authorities. And, I'm here to tell you that they still go around doing just that!
On the back cover of my new book (Will No One Know?), you'll find this statement: "Along the way, with the Lord's help, you will grasp the reason why the trusted authorities in the church get it so wrong."
What they get wrong is the claim that no one will know in advance when Jesus is coming. That lie is laid bare as I easily blow up their case. The message that some will know is clear and simple, and the stark difference between those who will and won't know is a real wake-up call for those who dare to look into the matter. Once the truth is seen and the lie exposed, we have to come to terms with some things. How could we have been so easily deceived? When all the authorities agree, it's a very compelling narrative that few would think to argue against. We have to come to a place where we humbly admit to ourselves that we are not as discerning as we should be. We have to repent of our willingness to be deceived and get fierce about staking ourselves to The Truth.
When you come around to having to ask the awkward question about who is to blame for the lie, we can point to Satan as an easy target, but we have to get beyond that. What we really need to get hold of has been right in front of us.
It's right there. If you don't get it, read the book. You need to know why the trusted authorities in the church get it so wrong.
