Meditations on "Truth"

To have God remove all our defects of character is to specifically ask Him to take away everything that hinders our ability to live fully in His love.

Many problems simply cannot go away until we become willing to let go of the thinking and believing that ties us to them.

Which is easier? To stop drinking and drugging, overspending and gossiping, or to enter into a new life of caring and responsibility taking, giving back to family and community, being a person fully alive as I was created to be?

One day while Jesus was preaching God’s word, four men arrived at the house where Jesus was, carrying a paralyzed man on a mat.

It’s time to agree with God and our own conscience about the exact nature of our wrongs.

Yesterday we spoke about some "red lights" we are given by God through the Bible.

Jesus risen from the dead? Jesus alive? Initially the disciples found it hard to believe Jesus was with them as a real person with real help for their real problems.

38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus.

53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him.

14 Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.

After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him.
