What is Truth?

This is the question that Pilate asked Jesus before giving him over to be crucified(John 18:38)
Today the question continues to reverberate. In the world today the truth has been twisted and turned in so many directions that it is difficult to find truth in any way shape or form. My wife and I were blessed enough to attend viewings of an exciting series of videos called "The Truth Project" It is presented by Dr. Del Tackett, and his teaching and presentations are dramatic and straight-forward. They cover many aspects of life, from Lesson 1, what is Truth, thru lesson 4 Who is God, Lesson 7 The Divine Imprint, Lesson 8 Unio Mystica: Am I Alone? and Lesson 12 God Cares, do I. These are just a few of the topics covered, and brought to life in a way rarely seen in today's culture. If you have the opportunity, I urge you to see it, they are vitally important.

Thirsty??

Are you thirsty? Do you find your life dry and unfulfilling? Jesus gave an answer for this. He said "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" John 7:37-38(NASB)

How often do we try and fill the thirst on our own, through another church activity, through another type of service, and new type of book. The answer is right there, he WANTS us to meet him and drink from him. Not take shallow little sips, but to drink deeply, fulfilling our thirst on a regular basis.

Please God, help me to drink deeper and more frequently. Help me to have streams of living water flowing through me.

What are we grumbling about

I often spend time grumbling about the world, the state of affairs, the president, congress on and on. How can they not see what God can do, why don't they follow God's law, why don't they turn to God, on and on. Occasionally God hits me with the 2x4 of sense or something like that and I look at the Bible for answers...what a novel concept. So here is a verse that really struck me today.

Second Chronicles 7:14

And my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sin, and heal their land. (NASB)

It is interesting to read what God wants us to do to heal our land....not form political action committees, not run for office, or send money to politicians, or give speeches or support candidates or sign petitions at Church...he wants us to humble ourselves and pray and seek his face and turn from our wicked ways. As always, God keeps it simple. Amen and Amen
