  • Do you REALLY want to know the Truth?  We all would answer, “Of course I do”.  But do you really?  What we say and what we do is many times very, very different.

    Most of us determine the Truth of this or that quickly.  We use our human intelligence along with our pride, ego, preconceived ideas, and bias to arrive at the Truth.  This is why there are so many “Truths” about any given subject.

    There is only one Truth on any given subject – that being what is contained in the Heart of God.

    So, why don’t we take the time and effort to discern God’s Truth?

    It seems we want to hurry and get that “Truth” into a category and file it neatly away and move on. We don’t want to be “burdened” with discerning God’s Truth in the matter.

    Although almost everyone would admit that they believe things that are not true; they don’t seem to care what they are; so they can correct their false beliefs.  Don’t you want to believe God’s Truth in all matters?

    To properly discern the Truth one must approach God in humility; with an open mind and heart; putting aside their pride, ego, preconceived ideas, and bias. One must have the attitude of “God, teach me Your Truth”. One must be willing to pray for God’s enlightenment.

    If this sounds like too much trouble to bother with then you will just have to go through your life believing in “false Truths” and harvest their fruits.

  • That is why when God heard about the sin of Sodom and Gommorah, He went  there Himself to see.
