Information comes at us quickly and in many ways. How does one sift through agenda and bias and arrive at truth? The following questions are great to keep in mind as you surf the internets, browse the magazine, read the paper, watch the hannityolbermanns, listen to the professor, and watch the infomercials:

1. What do you mean by that?

2. Where do you get your information?

3. How do you know you are right?

4. What happens if you are wrong?

Can you think of other questions to ask? Comment below.

I want to be like a tree (Psalm 1)

I want to be like a tree planted by streams of living water. I want to delight in the law of the Lord and to meditate on it day and night.

Psalm 1:1-3

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

What is truth? Pilate asks, Jesus answers

What is truth?

The Gospel of John deals often with the subject of truth. In this Gospel, Pontius Pilate comes face to face with Jesus and is confronted with the claim of absolute truth. Pilate responds to Jesus by asking, “What is truth?” Truth is a subject which continues to be questioned in our day. As the modern age has given way to the postmodern age, our culture’s embrace of absolute truth has given way to an embrace of relative truth. Gone are the identifiable reference points, the meaningful language and understanding, and the understanding of context in the fabric of culture. What is left is a culture that worships the ideals of multiculturalism and diversity. What is left is a culture of fragmented groupings of people who have coalesced around their own versions of truth and personal principles. For a culture to embrace relative truth, absolute truth must first be suppressed. This exercise in futility has indeed been embraced by this culture.

“I Am”

When talking to his disciples earlier in the Gospel of John, Jesus lays claim to the title of absolute truth in declaring, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” Ultimate absolute truth exists in the person of Christ and in every word that proceeds from his mouth. The invisible attributes and truth of God, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived by men, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. From a context of absolute truth the Gospel of God proceeds into a world that has suppressed and rejected the truth.
