I think we can all agree on what a lie is. It is the opposite of truth. It is the intention to deceive someone into believing something that is not true. But what exactly is misinformation? Is misinformation the same thing as a lie? It can be, but it is more complicated. I hear the word “misinformation” a lot lately and specifically in the context of political discussions. It sounds less harsh than accusing someone of lying, but it can refer to a lie or simply wrong information.

Lying typically refers to a direct and intentional untruth. To label something as misinformation is far more subtle and problematic. Is the misinformation an intentional lie, innocent mistake, or ignorant lack of knowledge? It presumes the need to alter...

As I wrote in the previous article, I did a dumb thing. I left my glasses on the roof of my car and Elsie and I started home after our weekend at family camp. After I discovered that the glasses weren’t on my face, Elsie stopped and we drove back to camp and started searching the camp road from the parking lot all the way to the main road. There was no trace of them. We prayed and searched on foot for over an hour to no avail. So we gave up hope of ever finding them and I scheduled an appointment for an eye exam the following day. I reasoned God must want me to change prescriptions and get new glasses.

I felt like the blind man whom Jesus spit on his eyes and then asked him if he could see. He replied, “I see men, for I am seeing them like trees, walking about” (Mark 8:24). Jesus then laid His hands on his eyes a second time and he began to see everything clearly. The reason I felt like that is because I lost by glasses on the return trip from Labor Day Family Camp. I did a stupid thing. Don’t do this. It was a warm afternoon as we were preparing to leave camp so I put my glasses on top of the car while I took off my sweatshirt. You guessed it! I got back in the car and we took off completely forgetting that my glasses were on the roof of the car. We didn’t get too far before I remembered that I wasn’t ...
