What is Truth

 

What is Truth?

 

Reality is Here

 Today, I was down on myself because of my situation and after having wallowed in depression for a while…God came through.

He asked me three questions plus one:

1)      Have you lost a million dollars?

2)      Have you lost your house?

3)      Have you lost your wife?


Finally, one more...  


Have you lost your faith?

These questions got me out of my depression and gave me a new perspective, I answered ‘no’ to all of them knowing that in my life one person out there could have answered affirmative.

The last one was a request from God of commitment to him. The Christian life is not a bed of roses at times, but we have the best support network one could ever dream.  We have precious brothers and sisters at our sides and a God that gave it all for us.

 

What is Truth?

 Truth is a Person who stands by you and supports you along life’s narrow way.  That Person is Jesus Christ.  He is level-headed and therefore puts your thoughts in line with His through God's word the Bible that is where truth lies.  He gives you a new perspective about any situation you may find yourself. In other words, he always shows you the reality of the whole picture.

The truth comes through judgment and evaluation.  Whoever has truth also has discernment and can make wise decision.  That is what Jesus brings to people who love truth.

 

 Practice Truth

 Finally, truth is certainly not wishy-washy, it is firm and solid or it could not be truth.

It is confronting and it causes one to think about the consequences of their actions.  In my depression earlier God was confronting me with truth and consequences.

In the same way, I come to you and ask you to make a new commitment for the truth and to consider the Ultimate Truth who is Jesus Christ.  Would you give him your heart today?

 

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person and they with me. (Revelation 3:20)

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it difficult to act well while we wait.   We can all wait as this

Is It a Blue Christmas?

  Just to Let everyone know that I usually post on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays .  I will try to keep posting during Christmas as well on those days.   Is It a Blue Christmas? For those people who are fortunate to not grieve right now please bear with us.  My mother passed away last May.  I am living now in her house with my wife.  If my wife was not with me, I would find this very difficult.  Being in this house is so emotional and everything reminds me of what it used to be when I was with my parents.  Sunday morning the pastor preached on one of the attributes of the son that was to be born to Mary and Joseph about 700 years after the prophecy in the book of Isaiah 9:6. This one name that Jesus bears is “Wonderful Counsellor” which means that he is too wonderful for words. It was explained that a counsellor is only effective when people come to him for counselling.   Have you gone to a counsellor?   Has it helped you?   God is a wonderful counsellor, and I was encour

The Holy Spirit: My Guarantee

  Holy Spirit is a Guarantee   Being a Christian is not based on emotions or on an opinion, but it must be based on assurance of the Comforter in me . The Holy Spirit is the seal of guarantee of the Eternal life God has promised to every Christian. We know we are a Christian not by our feelings but by the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.   The Spirit is the guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of god’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:14 Amplified )    It is a personal reason   For this very reason we ought to praise him. It is a personal reason for our well-being as Christian. We are going to make it because of the Holy Spirit being active in our lives.   We must allow him to be involved in our daily lives intimately, not holding on to any of our self-ambitions. By then we are dead anyway in Christ but alive unto God by his Holy Spirit.   Getting to know hi
