It's Friday, March 11, 2022. I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.

One of the things that we continue to track as we think about the Russian invasion of Ukraine

is the fact that the truth will eventually come out and will eventually be known to all.

We're living in a world in which it is sometimes increasingly difficult to know the difference

between say news and so-called fake news.

But here's something we really need to understand as Christians. Facts are

facts. The Christian worldview is predicated upon the fact that facts really do exist, that objective

reality is indeed reality, and that it is ultimately knowable.

First of all, and here's something that should come of comfort to Christians, that absolute reality

is known perfectly, indeed omnisciently by God.

So even if there is not a single human being

who has accurate knowledge, that knowledge is secure

in the fact that the self-existent glorious God holds that knowledge perfectly himself.

Nothing is hidden from his sight.

Even invisible realities such as human thoughts are laid bare to him. But it is also true that those creatures made in

his image human beings who are truth seeking beings by the nature God is

implanted within us. We are drawn to truth and we are drawn to a quest for truth.

And we are also in a situation in which there is so much information flowing around us that

the downside is that there's opportunity for propaganda

for so-called fake news and for distortion but it is also on the other hand an

opportunity for almost any fact on the ground to become known and for a denial of reality

to eventually be shown for what it is.
