Nothing Secret is Concealed From God

“There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.” Luke 12:2-3

In a story titled “Scientology "speed running" trend prompts church to remove door handles from its Hollywood buildings” it was reported that the Church of Scientology removed door handles from its Hollywood locations after viral "speed running" videos were filmed inside the buildings by masked activists who forced their way past security.

Runners, many of whom are masked, some of whom are wearing costumes, sprint past security through hallways and stairs until they're kicked out of the buildings.

"Trying to unlock as much as we can of the 'map' — is what they call it, to see what they have hidden," said one runner, who did not want to share her name. "Because they keep it very strict in there. You can't see anything up above. It's very secret and we want to know what it is all about."

She added that the trend is all about protest and exposure, hoping to get answers to what they believe is an effort by the Church of Scientology to conceal what they're doing.

"The public wants to know what's in there, what they are hiding," she said. "Why are they being so aggressive towards opening up about the truth?"

And, you know, the Church of Scientology (which is a false church and a false religion) is not the only “church” or organization that is hiding, or secretive about, their dealings, doings, and doctrine. There are thousands of false churches around our world today that are equally as aggressive towards opening up about the truth of what they represent because their theology, morality, and methodology are anything but holy and God-honoring. Hence the reason for secrecy. 

Two things are certain though, nothing is secret from God and “there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.” In fact, what people have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what they have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs… no matter how much they try to hide it. 

This means all secret sins, hypocritical actions, and quiet disobedience will eventually be exposed in the final judgment. This serves as a reminder that God sees everything--something, you can be sure, is good news for some and bad news for others.

So, while it may appear that evil people, organizations, and agendas will continue to prosper and not be exposed, the Bible is very clear that nothing is truly hidden or concealed. There is coming a day when all will be exposed and judgment rendered. 

Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us that, while it may appear that evil has no consequences, we know that You see everythingand will one day reward the righteous for their obedience and punish the unrighteousness for their disobedience. Help that to give us hope when we look at our world today, knowing that You are still on the throne and still in control. It’s in your precious name. We pray Jesus. Amen.

Happy Running!
