My Truth

“I am the way. I am the truth. And I am the life. No one comes to Father except through me.” – John 14:6

For this moment of mediation let’s look at the second claim Jesus made about Himself, “I am the truth.” Many people believe in moral relativism – the idea that there’s no such thing as absolute truth. Yet Jesus is saying, He, Me, Jesus Christ, Savior, “The One Who Remains!” is the truth. In other words, Jesus is saying that truth is not found in knowledge, religion, or in philosophy, but in Him…a person.

When someone says they don’t believe in absolute truth, I don’t think they even realize what they’re saying. For example, take math—are you saying that in Georgia 3+3 equals 6, but in California, 3+3 equals 5? Are they both true? Is it all relative to where you live? Obviously, that’s just ridiculous. What about the Law of Gravity? If there is no absolute truth, then when you drop something, are you saying that gravity might pull it down or maybe it will just stay suspended in the air? If someone told you this was “their” truth, you would think they were crazy.

Yet, when a person says, “There is no such thing as absolute truth,” ask them, “Are you sure?” If they say “Yes,” then they have refuted their own statement. They have stated an absolute truth. “There is no absolute truth” is a contradiction of terms – an oxymoron!

So, when it comes to God, can there be such a thing as absolute truth? If Jesus is telling the truth and is Truth personified, then the answer is, “Yes.” Either way, Jesus’ statement about Himself is outrageous – unless it is true.

The big question is, do you believe that Jesus is telling the truth? If you do, then whether you realize it or not, you believe in absolute truth. You can’t have it both ways. Either you believe it, or you don’t. Jesus says it’s absolutely clear. He is both the way to God, and He is the ultimate MIC DROP!

Let Us Pray,

Heavenly Savior, raise up I pray, an army of prayer warriors that will be prepared to seek Your face and to stand in the gap for those that have been swept into the lies of the humanistic agenda. May the truth of You, Your Word become a beacon of light to those that are in need of a Savior, and I pray that the lies of the enemy will be exposed so that many that are heading for an eternity of separation from the Father, may be swept into the kingdom of His dear Son, to Your praise and glory. 

Amen Jesus. Amen  Amen!

Trusting and Pleasing

“Therefore, we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:9  “Cease striving and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 Do you seek to please God or simply trust Him? I believe many of us would say that we desire to do both, but if you had to choose or focus on one or the other, which would it be? In pleasing God, we put ourselves in a “what must I do” frame of mind. It requires considerable effort to do those things that are “good and acceptable in the sight of the Lord” (1 Timothy 2:3).  Our way then becomes paved with good intentions as we strive to please God. That word, strive, means “struggling in opposition,” and that really sums it up. We are not perfect, and those imperfections and shortcomings will continue to follow us as long as we live. “Trying to please,” in and of itself, becomes an ongoing challenge. Conversely, Scripture says to “cease striving” … to be still and know that God is God. Instead of all the manufactured...

The number three is a powerful and often used number in scripture. When one goes looking for “threes” you can most certainly find them in Christianity. Noah had three sons (Gen. 6:10). Three visitors appeared to Abraham (Genesis 18:2). Jonah was inside the belly of the fish three days and nights (Jonah 1:17). Jesus answered Satan’s threefold temptations with three scriptural references (Matthew 4:1-11). Jesus’ ministry lasted three years. Peter denied Jesus three times (Luke 22:54-62), and three times Jesus affirmed his love (John 21:15-17). And the biggie and most often reference to the number three is the Trinity, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So how can we harness the power of three? Well, let’s use and follow Jesus’ example. The Father is repulsed by sin so, as Jesus did in the desert let us also use the power of three to fight temptation. When tempted by the evil one, do these three things immediately. First, pray! Ask the Lord to remove the temptation. Pray earn...

PULP FICTION

Samuel L. Jackson is Jules Winnfield, a mobster in a tight spot. Jules and his partner Vincent Vega (John Travolta), have just pulled into the home of Jimmie (played by Tarantino himself) with a dead body in the car which they have to dispose of pronto. Under pressure from Jimmie to get out of there as fast as possible, Jules calls his mob boss Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) to apprise him of the situation and plead for backup. Wallace reassures him he'll be sending "the posse" in the form of "The Wolf" to help. Jules, obviously as relieved as he's ever been in his life, utters a line similar to this one, “Brother, That's All You Had To Say.” Roll with me here. What kind of faith pleases God? What constitutes a belief in God that receives His approval? These words of Jesus from Luke 7 rest in the middle of a story about a Roman centurion asking Jesus to heal his servant. A centurion going to this much trouble for a servant demonstrates great love for th...
