Absolute Truth

March 28, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

    There was a story once told of a music student who went to speak with her Music Professor and asked, “What is a true note?” The professor said to this student, “The tenor in the room above us sings off-key quite often, the violinists in the room below us will drag their bow across too many strings and give us a horrible sound,” He then took out a tuning fork and struck it on its side and said, “but this my friend will always be a true A.”

    We can look today around the world and find people who mean well and try to do their best. Still, as we all know, their best may often fall short of perfection. However, my friend, the Word of God is true forever. In Luke 16:17 it says, “And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.” A tittle is a small dot or stroke that distinguishes one letter from another in the Hebrew alphabet. Jesus was saying that before anything He said would ever become untrue, it would be easier for all that we see all around us to vanish. His Word is forever. It never fails, never changes, and never goes out of date.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

     When searching for the truth, find it always in the pages of God’s Holy Word. 

Where do you look for the truths of life?

Did We Learn From History?
March 27, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Deuteronomy 6:13-14
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

    In the spring as I drive to church on Sunday, I see people cleaning their yard, washing their cars, and enjoying the warmer weather. God has given us such a pretty season. He brings the sun out to shine upon us again. It is not too warm and not too cold. Birds are singing and it is just an incredibly beautiful time of year. However, as I drive to church to meet fellow church members, I must wonder, what god do some people who miss church worship, if any? Do they realize this is a day set aside to fellowship and sing praise to the Lord? Has our nation, which claimed at one time to be a Christian nation, forgotten God? Could it be that we are worshiping the god of self and choosing what we want as more important than what God may want?

    How easy is it to do? It is extremely easy! It only takes a lack of commitment for a little while for Satan to tell you, “See, it did not hurt last week, it will not hurt this week either.” He says, “Look around, everyone else is doing it, God hasn’t condemned them… just stay home.” Or even, “You already went once this week, why would you want to go again, relax, this is the day God intended for rest, right?”

    However, it did hurt the first week. You missed what God prepared for you. You missed doing what God gifted you for in church to bring you and Him joy. Your neighbors missed seeing a testimony untarnished as you go to worship the God you say you love so much, but now they see you as being JUST LIKE THEM. Satan twisted the scripture to say this is a day of rest and you bought the lie. God said rest from all labors so you can use the day to worship and praise Him. He gave you six days to make a living, the seventh is to worship Him.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

   When we read about the Israelites, it is easy to ask, “Why would they forsake a God who proved Himself so many times and gave them blessing beyond measure?” “Why?” If they read our life story…, would they be asking, “Why did these people, after seeing what happened to us, not learn from our mistakes?”

Why do we repeat the same mistakes over and over?

Can You Hear It?

March 24, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Deuteronomy 1:43
So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

    Have you ever been in a crowded room where everyone seemed to be talking at the same time? All the conversations were good, and they all seem to be important to the people who are involved in them. Then someone steps up to the microphone and begins to speak. You try to listen, you hear something, but cannot make out exactly what because the noise of the crowd is drowning out the speaker. Finally, in exhaustion, you give up and go back to the conversation you were in before. At least you could hear what was being said in that one.

    In today’s passage, we find the children of Israel so busy talking with each other about what they were doing in their lives, that they never took the time to listen to God. Were they concerned about their life? Sure they were. Did they try to figure out what to do next? Yes. However, with all their talking about what to do, did they drown out God, the one who could make a difference? Yes, they did.

    When we stop to think, we are often just like God’s Children of Israel. We are daily busy trying to fix the world and discussing how to make things better. We get so tied up in our daily lives that we forget to listen to the one who gave us life to begin with. If we would stop for just a few minutes each day and listen, really listen to the Lord, I am sure He has something very important to say. Something we need to hear.   

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    Before we go flying through another day, STOP, take a moment to pause and open God’s Word. A great way to begin would be to read Psalm 119:18 and repeat those words to the Lord. “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” Listen… Listen. Do you hear it? There is a still small voice speaking just to you. 

What is your daily routine before you
open and read God’s Word?
