If you lie against the truth, enjoy confusion or are a hypocrite, are you just fitting in with today's politicians or are you going against Jesus' desire for you?

If you lie against the truth, enjoy confusion or are a hypocrite, are you just fitting in with today's politicians or are you going against Jesus' desire for you?

But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. James 3:14-18

You can't turn on the TV anymore without hearing about Fake News . Now the part you have to determine is whether it truly is Fake News or is it people who lie against the truth? Jesus wants us to know that He doesn't want us to slip into hypocrisy either (being a pretender, deceiver, liar, etc.) just to fit in with current societal actions. Would Jesus be truly proud of what He sees on TV or coming out of the mouths of many parents, who are modeling this behavior for younger generations? It's a lot to be prayerful about!
