Pastor Randy explores Jesus' command to "Go and Learn" truth and speak truth, in a world increasingly convinced objective truth doesn't exist.

THE PROBLEM:
Over half of Americans (54%) believe all truth is subjective. Almost two-thirds (64%) believe truth is relative—there's no right or wrong, just "my truth" and "your truth."

Only 42% base truth on God. 16% on personal certainty. 15% on scientific proof. 18% say there is NO truth at all.

JESUS' COMMAND:
Jesus gives the command to "Go and Learn" three times:

Matthew 9:13 - "Go and learn the meaning of Scripture. I want mercy, not sacrifice." (Learn obedience over religious embellishment)

Matthew 11:28-29 - "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me." (Learn rest in His commands, not burdensome traditions)

Matthew 24:32 - "Learn this lesson from the fig tree." (Learn to read God's timing in what you observe)

THE FOUNDATION:
David says in Psalm 19: "God's instructions are perfect, trustworthy, right, clear, pure, and true."

There IS objective truth. But today, that idea is under attack.

THE HISTORY:

2004: Fact-checkers emerged to verify political claims
2012: Two competing fact-checkers (one favoring each party)
2016: Fact-checkers abandoned. Social media became the arbiter of "truth"
Today: "Truth" is whatever you find on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident."
Our nation was founded on objective truth. Three of them:

All men are created equal (echoed in Galatians: all are one in Christ)
Endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights
Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness (defined as freedoms that don't infringe on others' freedoms)

JESUS AND PILATE:
John 18 - When Pilate asks Jesus, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus responds about His kingdom not being of this world. He says: "I was born to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize what I say is true."

Pilate responds: "What is truth?"
That question has echoed for 2,000 years. The rejection of objective truth isn't new, it goes back to Jesus' time.

THE SOURCE OF TRUTH:
Jesus is clear: "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6).
Truth comes from Jesus Himself and His Word. God's Word IS truth.

THE ENEMY'S LIE:
Satan is the "father of lies." He would love nothing more than for you to believe there is no objective truth, that you follow your way and others follow theirs. That's his greatest deception.

THE REVOLUTION:
George Orwell: "In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
Selwyn Duke: "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it."

THE CALL:
Go and learn the truth. Then speak it. In doing so, you start a revolution against the kingdom of lies.
How?

Identify the lie in your sphere of influence
Find the corresponding truth that replaces it
Pray for the right time, place, and words
Speak the truth, and start a revolution
