Deception

We read many things in the news.  I have in mind, in particular, news about Putin, the middle east and the patriarch of Russia.  Most of what we hear is negative.  But we have to ask ourselves who is relaying this news.  Who is speaking and what is their worldview?  Many, many people are guilty of deception, not just non Christians.  But it occurred to me that deception comes from a lack of faith.  We twist and manipulate our words because we don't trust that God can and will work out all things for good.  We try to mold reality into our way of thinking instead of his. 
So when we read about something in the news, we need to remember that in most cases, those who are speaking may very well be, even subconsciously, manipulating the information, to fit into their worldview.
I think this practice is unavoidable, but we can make sure that what we believe is actually true and in line with the mind of Christ.
