In a culture as hostile as this, there’s a demand to affirm lies, and proclaiming the truth can be costly.  This was seen in the time of Micaiah, the prophet, who held fast in proclaiming the truth despite the masses around him affirming untruths.  Evil will accumulate as many voices as possible to lend credibility to its lies, but Christians must be the ones who stand for the truth, no matter the cost.  We can expect to face hatred, intimidation, persuasion to give in, and even persecution, but it is our duty to proclaim the truth to a world that desperately needs it.  

 

Scripture: 1 Kings 22:1-28
