This week, X began showing users the country of origin behind every account, and we learned that many of the voices shaping America's political conversation aren't from America at all.
Influential "right-wing" pages with eagle logos and patriotic slogans turned out to be run out of places like Eastern Europe and Africa:
"Insider" accounts speaking fluently to progressive causes were traced to similar exotic destinations:
High-follower, high-outrage profiles on both sides - voices many people trusted, quoted, or even built their worldview around - were suddenly revealed as something very different from what they claimed.
You could practically feel the ground shift.
If the narrators of the national conversation can be an illusion, what else have we been building on that might give way? Allow me to politely respond by pointing out that when your worldview is built on human voices (online, political, ideological, or even religious) you are always at risk of having the philosophical rug yanked out from under you.
Humans have motives.
Humans have blind spots.
Humans have agendas.
And humans, even the well-intentioned ones, are not neutral truth machines.
That's why this moment offers an unexpected reminder of something Christianity has taught for 2,000 years: If you build your thinking on anything other than the unchanging Word of God, you are building on sand.
The internet is a shifting tide.
Public opinion is a shifting tide.
Political rhetoric is a shifting tide.
Even our own instincts are shifting tides.
Christianity's claim may be uncomfortable for some, but it is unmistakable: truth is not something human beings invent or negotiate. It is something revealed by Someone outside and beyond us.
That is why Scripture remains so stubbornly relevant in a world that can't stop changing. The Bible remains the only unmovable, reliable reference point in a culture addicted to motion. It isn't algorithm-driven, influence-baiting, or susceptible to geopolitical manipulation, even if self-seeking humans attempt to harness it in such a way. Its truth does not sway with elections, trends, or personal preferences.
Where human voices bend, God's voice stands straight.
The psalmist insisted it: "Your word, O Lord, is firmly fixed in the heavens."
And Jesus affirmed it: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."
You don't have to be a theologian to recognize the appeal of that. Human beings can curate, amplify, and broadcast endlessly, but none of that provides the one thing our age is starving for: truth that doesn't move when everything else does.
That is precisely what Christianity offers - not because Christians are stable, but because Christ is.
So while everyone argues about what the revelations on X mean for politics, media, and the public discourse, Christians have the advantage of realizing our foundation is not threatened by any of it. In fact, moments like this only highlight how our own voices, and the voices we trust, will always be compromised by something. It's precisely why Christianity doesn't point us inward or online for truth. It points us upward.
Because sooner or later, nations, parties, influencers, and narratives all collapse, but the One who said, "I am the truth," never will.
