Truth...

When all the dust settles where does the truth that governs your life find it's footing? In a culture where information flows so freely, comes at us relentlessly, from every direction, how do we know where to find our bearings? Who do we believe, who do we trust. Knowledge has to come from somewhere. Or does it?

So many of those who are throwing stuff at us from so many directions speak from where? Probably no where otherwise where would they find time to write all this stuff...I laugh about people who try and tell us how to do stuff who have never done anything...OK "Stuff" is the operative word today...

I am interested in what you have to say, but to start things off, I got to say that I believe that all truth comes from Truth Himself...

Jesus said, "I am the truth and the life...so you want life, you better get the truth...

So many people say that because men penned the scripture you can't trust it, but don't leave God out of the equation...it's part of the miracle.

It is a book that has withstood the test of time...every generation since it was given has challenged it's relevancy and authenticity...

Some of the most so called brilliant people in every generation have done everything they could to disprove and compromise it as a book of truth...

So think about this...it's still here...we are still faced with a choice to believe in it or not, faced with a choice because it hasn't gone anywhere...

I choose to let it be my guide, I choose to let the Holy Spirit that lives in me help me sort it out...

What's your thoughts? No really...

Hypocrisy

Have you ever noticed how people on the outside think that we are a bunch of Hypocrites...They do because we don't live up to a standard of expectation that someone, somewhere along the way established.

Actually we have educated them by standing up and preaching about things that they shouldn't do...the only problem was we were doing what we were telling them not to do...Thus the reputation of a Hypocrite was born...

In the beginning of my walk it was about Jesus and that was it, but somewhere along the line it became about me...what I was doing or what I wasn't doing...I call it a performance based mentality...when that happened it quit being fun...it seemed like the harder I tried to change the less I changed...

I don't know how it happened but at one of my lowest moments...I learned something...this isn't really about me, it's about Jesus...it's not about me living up, it's about living in Him...

I found this great verse...Matthew 6:6 Message

Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play with God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.

Wow...quit role-playing before God...quit making it about you and what you think you are suppose to be and just find that place in God where you know that you are accepted and loved...

Let Him make something out of your life and leave it at that...

Well it's just a thought, what do you think, what have been some of your struggles...
