Is Truth A Curse

Truth has become a gift and a curse for me. First off, the truth does set us free, but free from what. We are free from deception, urban myths, and false teachers. The thing is false teachers are so popular that they hold the attention of the masses. There is a problem when our most popular pastor in America denies the gospel on Larry King Live. There is a problem when our teachers tell us to have faith in faith instead of faith in God. There is a problem when you go to church and you hear more about finances than salvation. These are the things we must escape from. The problem is once you separate from these things people begin to look at you different.
Urban myths entertain us and once we find out that there is no way it can be true it kind of spoils it for us. I've found out that a lot of people don't want to know the truth, they would rather live in a feel good fantasy world than realize the sin soaked world that we truly live in.
People tend to not want to rock the boat, but our Lord and Savior Jesus rocked the boat more than anyone in history. He didn't come on a majestic throne. He didn't come with earthly riches. He didn't come with promises of wealth and health. He did not preach prosperity. He preached salvation. He preached heavenly riches. He told us the poor would always be with us. He told us we would be persecuted as Christians. I am sorry that this isn't a feel good message, but I do have good news. If you confess from your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead then you are saved.
Salvation is enough. What more can we ask for. You can't add anything to salvation to make it better. Money isn't the root of happiness, just look how many millionaires are depressed or commit suicide. Mansions can burn, cars can break down, money can be lost, but salvation lasts forever.
