Paul Harvey’s Timeless Words Resurface

Today, clips of his old broadcasts are going viral, shared widely online by people struck by how relevant his words still feel. His reflections on cultural drift, societal pressure, and moral erosion are being quoted as though written for our times.
Why His Words Still Resonate
-
Clarity: Harvey spoke plainly. His stories and insights were accessible, never buried in jargon.

-
Moral compass: In a fast-changing world, Harvey reminded listeners that values like honesty, humility, and responsibility don’t go out of style.
TruthLens Reflection
The Qur’an says, “So remind, for indeed the reminder benefits the believers” (51:55). Paul Harvey wasn’t predicting the future—he was describing patterns that repeat when virtues are ignored. His power came from moral clarity, not crystal balls.
Rather than marveling that “he predicted all this,” perhaps the deeper truth is simpler: the same forces that built or broke societies then are still at play now.
We don’t need fortune-tellers. We need truth-tellers—those who remind us, with grace and firmness, of what we already know but sometimes forget.
