What is Truth? (John 18:38)

“Pilate said to him (Jesus) What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, I find in him no fault at all.” (John 18:38)

That is the Question

Pilate had asked that question about 2000 years ago without it seems really wanting an answer.  Since then, the world has had its own idea and philosophy of what the truth should be.  Many people today have their own personal view of what is truth.  No one really is teachable and ask question about it.  We just stubbornly make up our own truth to avoid it altogether.  If Pilate had been teachable, he would have known the truth because the truth was with him right there at the front of him.  Pilate represents what a lot of people are like today.  The Truth is right with them and in the front of them and yet they still ignore.  Nevertheless, there is a price for that, and it is costly.  There is not much time left for you to know the truth.  You are better finding it soon.

The Truth is Personal

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6)

Look since everyone wants their own truth God has made the truth available to each one.  The Truth is simply a person who is stable like concrete.  That person is a strong foundation and never lies.  You can trust him and his promises.  What else do you want truth to be he has it and he is Jesus Christ.  He will live forever, and you will too if you believe in him.  Truth is simple, it speak to the heart.  I am not trying to convince you, but I think it is pretty cool.  No one knows what happens after death except Jesus and his followers so don’t be so sure of yourself.  There is a hell if you don’t believe.  Truth is personal and it is for everyone.  He is not mad at you he wants you to be happy the right way.  Your addictions will never make you happy.  Joy comes in the morning.

The Truth will set you free

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32)

The actual teachings of Jesus will set you free.  Lies bring bondage and prison sentences.  Fear is not freedom and whatever does not set you free is a lie.  There are two forces at war out there one will lose and already doomed but thank be to God the Truth will win.  So which side do you want to be on.  I want to be on the winning side telling the Truth that Jesus is alive today and is coming back sooner than you think but it will never be ‘never’.  Please make up your own mind because you have had a long time to think.  The time is NOW!

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
