“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
― George Orwell
“Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.”
― Blaise Pascal
Deconstructionism of truth is prevalent in today’s society.
“There are no absolutes”, is the theme of Deconstructionism.
(also known as Relativism,Existentialism and Postmodernism)
The negative effects are broad and damaging to society, industry, and politics.
No facet of society is left unharmed by the denial of truth.
Until we believe there are truths that we can believe in, we will have nothing in which we can invest belief, for truth is the subject,and belief is the action.
Conversely, to the degree that we are sure of that which we believe, to that same degree we will have confidence, courage, and willingness to take risk.
Truth gives solid ground for the activation of belief, and belief attempts things that doubt ignores.
Belief is as essential to innovation as water is to life.
Truth, belief and innovative creativity are interdependent.
Truth inspires us to believe we can achieve new possibilities.
Truth is called,”light”, in the Bible, enabling us to see possibilities.
Without belief that something came be done that has never previously been done, nothing new would become reality,
because we would not believe it can be done, and would therefore not attempt to do it.
That is how truth fosters belief ,creativity and innovation.
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)

When it comes to truth — it’s a matter of trust. Can you take God at His Word? I believe so.

Dave,
Absolutely!
God requires that we trust Him and His word is truth.
Right now though, society at large discounts the existence and degree of Truth that can be known.
Even the church is drawn into this error.
Pilot’s error. “What is truth”, is what he said as he judged Jesus, who is the Truth.
Jesus lives in believers.
