There is a Truth

For Jesus said in Mark 8:34-38;
34When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me ". 35 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

If you know me, you know that I’m not one to go with the flow. I’m not a salesman nor am I a public speaker. Much energy can be spent on politics, but it’s only a struggle for power. Even with the best intentions, there can rarely be any truth. Religion only condemns me and I, like a lot of people, have said that the Bible has been manipulated by man to serve man, making it a bunch of religious guidelines that we all know I could never live up to. What I could ever Hope to live up to is what Paul writes in 2 Corinthians chapter 4

The truth is, I am finding that the Bible is inspired by God and it is the living and breathing word of God. You can find the most amazing everything in this book... The New Testament lines up with the Old Testament, scripture verifies scripture and scriptures reveal who Jesus really is. There’s trials and triumphs; secrets revealed; deals made and promises given; love stories and poetry; lots of action and thrills; there is history and prophecy and prophecy's made that are now history; and of all things, Noah was found drunk. There is so much of everything in the Bible. For instance, why would all of Paul’s letters end up in the Bible? His letters are so contrary to what religion practices. In other words, if man really did have control of the Bible, the simplicity of Salvation would have been left out.

Every body believes in GOD but few know who He is and most of them don't realize how real and accessible He really is. He found me in of all places, the shower. I called out to Him and He answered. Now I find that Life is all black and white, light and dark, right and wrong, good and evil and it is literally life and death. The line really is that fine. I find it is easier and much more appealing to stand with Christ than against Him.
