These days, everyone seems to want to believe what someone or some product says. It is like a media person holds truth or a product holds truth or a belief system holds truth. However, within each person, product, or belief system, there are parts that are truth and there are parts that are not.
Truth within a person, product, or belief is the gem. It is the diamond in the coal. It is what we should be seeking after. We hold others up so high on a pedestal that we cannot even see who they are. We don't even acknowledge we do this - and yet we do.
Growing up in a church, I always heard the minister say we should put no minister or person on a pedestal. It sounded good, but in all reality, it never happened. Everyone thought the minister or priest had all the answers and more often than not, they didn't. No one could accept that the minister (ordained by God) would not have the answer they needed.
