Truth

I’m not a prophet, just a little-known former assoc. prof/pastor trying to Prod, Push, Pull, Persuade your soul (& mine) toward the Plateau of endless light and away from the Pit of dismal darkness. Sometimes Truth (when we agree J) is sweet but many times Truth (when reminding of past light or a ray of grudgingly-admitted new light L) is sour. If Truth makes you angry, please friend, be upset with my crudely expressed idea and not upset with God. He, who loves you, is the eternal embodiment of Truth.

Truth

When/If truth becomes unacceptable to you because of your life, don’t try to whittle down truth (to fit you).

Ask God to so fill your life that it may fit with truth. Do NOT fear truth. It is your friend – now and in the hour of death.

WAY, TRUTH, LIFE

 

Jesus is the WAY

This applies to our everyday

Up hill and down

Mid smiles, the occasional frown

Always take His Way.

2

Jesus is the TRUTH

Applies to you and Moabitish Ruth

Across millennia and tired miles

In spite of lying “bits” and files

Let Him be your Truth.

3

Jesus is LIFE

Applies to beyond present struggles and strife

Be brave

There IS life beyond the grave

True for Adam, true for you

Live His Life.

TRUTH is positive

TRUTH, even when it “hurts”

 

 

is positive. 

 

 

A lie, even when it sounds great,

 

 

is a negative.

TRUTH

All truth is God’s truth, has a definite “ring.”

But taken across the board it has a definite “sting.”

All truth is NOT on the same parallel,

“Two plus two…” “Christ is the Son of God.”

Which truth rejected, will land you in hell?
