The Search for Truth

The Search for Truth

When Jesus spoke the memorable words, “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free,” He was speaking to people searching for truth. The people of His day were searching for truth. The religious teachers of the day had elevated traditions over truth (Matthew 15.7-9). People wanted to know the truth. They did not want a variety of truth, but the only truth of God.

Do we want truth, or a variety of truth? We live in a time of variety. For instance, right before the pandemic, the average US food store stocked 33,000 different items. This was four times the choices offered in 1975. In the automotive industry, there were 605,000 different ways to configure or customize your vehicle and that does not include the varieties of color choices.

However, tough times changed due to supply chain turmoil, and we all adapted. Despite the frustration of not being able to get everything we wanted; consumers found greater contentment win fewer choices. In the Wall Street Journal, Ann Gasparro said, “The lesson that many companies are drawing from not being able to please everyone in the pandemic is that maybe they didn’t need to try so hard in the first place.” 

As Christians, we should focus on the simplicity of truth in the Bible over the varieties of what the world offers. Just as Jesus says, the “truth will set us free.” This truth of the Bible is the Word of God. (John 17.17) God gave us His Word to show us the right way to we can be complete and ready for every good work. (2 Timothy 3.16-17).

Proverbs for Graduates

Proverbs for Graduates

There are many thoughts which can be shared, but the book of Proverbs shares many timeless wisdoms, which finds the application beyond a graduation.

Solomon speaks from his experiences regarding life, decisions, marriage, knowledge, riches, poverty, and humbleness.

Consider Solomon’s inspired words in Proverbs 4.23-27 and how they will be a guiding light to the feet of those willing to investigate the sacred text. Each verse is a treasure of knowledge to guide your steps.

I would encourage you to take these verses to heart and use them each day as you walk in your new season of life.

  1. “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)
  2. “Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you.” (Proverbs 4:24)
  3. “Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.” (Proverbs 4:25)
  4. “Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.” (Proverbs 4:26)
  5. “Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.” (Proverbs 4:27)

I would encourage each graduate, and each Christian, to take these verses to heart and use them each day as you walk in your new season of life.

Allow your life to flow from the lessons you have and will learn in the Scriptures. Let them be a light to your path and a lamp to your feet.
