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 Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now is my second chance to build a future filled with wisdom into my

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
