Guiding Light: Faith
Luke 4:21-30
The major themes of 2019, according to those who study the frequency of cultural conversation, include immigration, the impeachment hearings, and - fake news. The idea of fake news refers to published information intentionally designed to mislead. Fake news has many names: "propaganda," "misinformation," "yellow journalism," "libel," and even "lies." Yet recently, some people have broadened the concept of "fake news" to mean any reports or political news that they don't like - regardless of the veracity of the information. Then, not only the news but the source of the news is attacked. It's a new version of "kill the messenger." While this exploded on the scene in a broad way last year, the cry of "fake news" has a much longer history. Just ask Jesus. How are we to dicipher "fake news" from the Good News?
"When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with rage" (Luke 4:28).
