Truth

In our American culture we are taught to question everything.  To consider nothing as being certain.  All things can change and we should be ready to accept the reality that there really is not truth.  This is a philosophy that is pumped through our educational system.  It is a philosophy of chaos and confusion.  That may explain the increase of disorder that we see in our so called enlightened society.  Although there are many things that do change and certainly there are things we believe today that we will not believe tomorrow. There is also a foundation of truth that will never change nor even be shaken.  These truths can be discovered in the Word of God, the Bible.  For centuries people have been trying to diminish the authority of this book and the existence of its author, God!  Yet from generation to generation this book continues to be the best-selling book not only in whole of history, but it holds the top spot in each generation.  In fact no other book has influenced cultures more than this book.  It is a book that contains 66 separate books, written over a 2000-4000 year period, by over than 40 different authors, and it does not contradict itself one time.  Even today you can open this book and it is as relevant for our life today as it was for the very first people who read it.  Why? The Bible says, "Heaven and Earth will pass away, but my Word will never pass away."  Essentially it is saying that we will come and go.  Skeptics will come and go.  The United States will come and go, but God's Word, God's History; God's Kingdom will always be there! Whatever attack critics and scientists may bring against the truths found in the Bible they will only discover they are fighting against an eternal power that will far out live their own lives.  In fact, just recently a noted secular archaeologist stated that there has never been an archaeological discovery that has disproved the truths in the Bible. Rather they have only encouraged its validity.  So stand firm on the truths of the Bible, they will never leave you lost.

Jesus paid so that you could have real life not just in Heaven, but also while you live on earth.  Do not pass up the opportunity to experience the Life of Christ living in you.  Sure there are a lot of fears and worries that you may have, but they are not coming from God.  Remember God will never give you more than you can handle, but will give you every good gift that you allow Him to give you.  Trust God and take that step closer to Him.
