2 new words that have been added to our vocabulary lately are ‘misinformation’ …..and ‘disinformation’. Apparently one letter can make a huge difference! Misinformation ….. according to the dictionary ….. means wrong information given by mistake or misunderstanding. It is not designed to mislead but does anyway! Disinformation has a rather more sinister connotation because it deliberately gives false information. It may add to the truth ….. subtract from the truth ….. or completely make up a ‘new truth’. You may recognise these concepts from your childhood. What did we used to call them? Oh that’s right ….. LIES! One thing we all probably learned from it is that the truth always wins in the end.

If you are tired of the struggle of trying to be heard ….. maybe you are speaking to the wrong person. The person you are appealing to has their own mindset ….. and mindsets are not easily changed. Sometimes it’s a matter of pride ….. no one likes to be told they are wrong! Try appealing to God who has the power and authority to bring down arguments and false beliefs. He alone can shift those stubborn mindsets and bring truth and understanding. Whether it’s about law changes ….. or international intervention ….. It’s always good to go straight to the top.

I was listening to the news last night about mental health being addressed in primary schools. It’s so sad to think that little kids ….. who have their whole lives ahead of them ….. are dealing with anxiety and depression. More than anything they need to be assured that they are safe and loved. I can’t help thinking that the antidote is to bring back Bible in Schools. It’s removal has made way for all sorts of philosophies to bring instability and confusion. The Bible not only speaks to the problem of wrong thinking ….. but also gives the answer.
