Truth Bytes

Searching for the truth is not an idle occupation, rather it is the essence of everything. Without truth we are just living a fantasy, without vision or hope. The scriptures claim to be “the truth” the true reality. So let’s explore some biblical truths that will bring meaning to our lives, a sense of purpose to what we see and experience, and guidance along the path that leads through the hills and valleys of life. Truth is that two-edged sword...it can “bite” those who try to ignore it, or it can be wielded to protect those who use it with discernment. But most importantly, truth, the knowledge of what is real, must be spoken with love, and an intent to help and support, not undermine or demean. God is the source of truth. He created us, and gave us his mind and heart. Then he gave us a choice and free will. But he advised us to choose life. We must know the truth in order to make that choice. So join us on a journey through the scriptures as we explore some “truth bytes.”

Often we miss the implications of this fruit of the spirit, Gentleness, is really gentle strength and it has real power. Philippians 4:5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

Helping others doesn’t always require the years of martial arts training or the sheer guts that Blair Bates was able to call upon to help Const. Douglas-Hunt in her time of need. All that you need is a heart willing to love your neighbour as yourself. https://worldtomorrow.ca/weeklycolumn/way-back-2011-good-samaritans-loving-neighbour/
