the truth, please


Just because a particular person said it doesn’t mean it’s true or not true.

We tend to classify people, and base our judgment on what they say according to where they fit on our classification. While there may be good reason to either doubt the person or trust what they say based on their reputation, truth is not defined by who says it. 

Truth is truth regardless of who says it.

That puts us in the place of having to bypass the truth-judging based on people’s talk.

We need a more sure word.

That’s where the brilliance of God comes in. He had stuff written down. Stuff he wants us to know. And he has kept those writings intact to this day, thousands of years after the fact. And it’s in our language. That means we can read what God had written 3,000 years ago through Moses, for example.

Wow.

Point is, just because this preacher or that teacher says something does not make it ‘gospel’ or make it error. What makes it so is the sure word of the God. And we have it.

Now then, since we have this word from God himself, let’s use it. Makes sense, ya? Read it. Regularly. Over and over, never quitting on it. If God’s wisdom is there, where on Earth else are we going to go, and why?

Take your Bible and read it. Please.                                               selah

Shalom
