Mindful Monday: TRUTH & MORALITY are OBJECTIVE

Mindful Monday: TRUTH & MORALITY are OBJECTIVE

It's Holocaust Remembrance Day
Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the lives lost and reflect on the devastating consequences of hate and indifference. It’s a day to remember that evil often thrives when good people remain silent, and truth becomes twisted to serve selfish agendas.

As a Christian company, we believe that truth and morality are not subjective—they are objective, eternal, and unchanging. However, history shows us how societies have warped truth and morality to justify atrocities, often under the guise of moral superiority.

On this Mindful Monday, let’s reflect on the importance of staying grounded in God’s truth, practicing discernment, and choosing good in a world that often tries to blur the lines between right and wrong.


The Warping of Truth and Morality
Throughout history, societies have taken God’s absolute truths and twisted them to fit personal or political agendas. The Holocaust is a tragic example of how morality was distorted to justify evil. Hatred and discrimination were cloaked in false righteousness, leading to unimaginable suffering.

This pattern isn’t confined to the past. Even today, many claim moral superiority while promoting ideas and actions that contradict God’s word. As Christians, we must be mindful of these distortions and guard our hearts and minds against accepting falsehoods as truth.

Key Takeaway:
Truth isn’t determined by societal trends or personal feelings—it’s rooted in God’s word. As Isaiah 5:20 reminds us, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.”


Staying Grounded in Objective Truth
In a world that often encourages us to "go with the flow," mindfulness helps us pause and evaluate what aligns with God’s unchanging truth. When society twists morality to fit its desires, we must have the discernment to recognize what is right and what is wrong.

How to Stay Grounded in Truth:

  1. Turn to Scripture: God’s word is the ultimate standard for truth and morality. Use it as your guide in evaluating what you hear and see.
  2. Pray for Discernment: Ask God for wisdom to see through falsehoods and make choices that honor Him.
  3. Seek Authenticity: Align your actions and decisions with eternal truths, not fleeting societal trends.

“Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” (John 17:17)


Choosing Good in the Face of Evil
Evil often disguises itself in subtle ways, making it easy to rationalize harmful actions or remain silent when we should speak up. Choosing good requires mindfulness, courage, and faith in God’s plan.

Ways to Act Mindfully and Choose Good:

  • Speak Truth with Love: Stand up for God’s truth, but always deliver your message with compassion and kindness.
  • Be a Light in the Darkness: Even small acts of goodness can make a profound impact.
  • Practice Empathy: Seek to understand others’ struggles and respond with grace, even when you disagree.

Choosing good isn’t always easy, but as Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”


The Role of Mindfulness in Discernment
Mindfulness isn’t just about inner peace—it’s a tool to stay vigilant against the subtle ways truth can be distorted. It helps us pause, reflect, and act intentionally, rather than being swept along by the currents of society.

How Mindfulness Protects Us:

  • It Sharpens Awareness: Mindfulness helps us recognize when something doesn’t align with God’s truth.
  • It Encourages Reflection: Before making decisions, it allows us to weigh our choices against what is righteous and good.
  • It Promotes Action: Rather than staying passive, mindfulness inspires us to stand firm in our faith and take meaningful steps to choose good.

As Ephesians 5:15-16 urges us, “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”


On this Mindful Monday and Holocaust Remembrance Day, let’s commit to being intentional in our thoughts and actions. Let’s reject the lies of a society that twists truth and morality to suit its own agendas, and instead anchor ourselves in God’s unchanging word.

Evil thrives in silence and complacency, but good flourishes when we choose to speak truth, act with love, and remain steadfast in faith.

Today, ask yourself: Are my thoughts and actions aligned with God’s truth, or am I being influenced by a world that calls good evil and evil good? Let mindfulness guide you as you seek discernment and strength to choose what is right.
