WHO KEEP TRUTH IMPRISONED

WHO KEEP TRUTH IMPRISONED


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “The anger of God is being revealed from heaven against all the impiety and depravity of men who keep truth imprisoned in their wickedness.” (Romans 1:16-25)


Reflection. Paul starts his letter by saying the world itself reveals the truth about God even before the revelation of God made human in Jesus. People are good at digging for precious metals but few dig deep to discover the imprint of God in creation. Most find it easier to “imprison” the truth as people who speak up in dictatorships are put behind bars. There is a truth lying behind every human conflict on the planet today but people prefer to fight rather than to face it. And we know in our own case how there can be obvious things we have to do, but we put them off. We don’t do them. So, before he gets into his main theme, Paul gives us a “state of the nation” address. This is how things are.    


Prayer. Lord Jesus, help us to face the truth as it touches our lives. Amen.
