Living a lie all in the name of faith

Text
We are living at a time when people not only tell lie but are living a lie. Living a lie is living an escapist life, not wanting to face up with reality.
       An escapist don't tell lie but lives a lie. He is afraid of facing up with reality. He will go to any length to cover up. Among today youth ( and adults) one of the ways that escapist runs away from reality is addition. Drug addiction, sex addiction, pornographic addiction, alcoholic addiction etc. They do all these to deny or disown an unpleasant situation and persuade themselves that it does not exist. Facing up with reality may be presently painful but it does have in built mechanism to accelerate a healing process. Biblical fault does not deny reality rather it faces reality with great fortitude because of his or her gaze on jesus.
