Spiritual Songs: "Voice of Truth"

Our minds are a battlefield. Although, at times, it may feel as if we are out matched and unarmed, we are not. A lie is at the root of all human rebellion and sin. A lie so engrained in the human experience and psyche that it feels like reality. The lie suggests that we don't need God, that we can make it on our own, that our desires are more important than anyone else's.

James said it well,

No one undergoing trial should say, "I am being tempted of God." For God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself doesn't tempt anyone. But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death (James 1:13-15, HCSB).

Because of sin, we each went astray. We were lost, and needed someone to come and rescue us. Jesus, through the presence of the Spirit, has done that through his church. Now, as his followers, we need to learn to hear and obey his voice.

This song, "The Voice of Truth," by Casting Crowns expresses the battle that exists between the lie and the God's truth. We counter the lies of Satan with the truth of God's Word. As we listen to the voice of truth, we learn to live in obedience. Battle on, my dear friends. May this video encourage you.
