Can You Relate?

http://momeaning.com/2015/09/30/can-you-relate/ Posted on  September 30, 2015  by  mograce15 Does God exists? Romans 1:18-32 tells us that  “what may be known about God is plain…..so that they are without excuse”   The question I found myself asking many times in the past was “what is God like?” “How do I get to know Him better?” “ Do I want to know Him better?” I am certain my friend Sal has had the same questions. So I asked him, “have you always been a Christian?” I was not surprised to learn that like me he had been raised Roman Catholic. He explained that while in college, he met and dated his future wife. She attended an evangelical church. She asked him to come to her church one evening to listen to her sing. “Well” he responded, “I’ve already attended Mass” and she said firmly, “This is not an obligation but an invitation.

Truth will always be

In anticipation and celebration of Spring a few random notes on Truth - Truth exist – Truth is as real as a map or GPS coordinates– Truth is that which conforms to reality Truth can be known – we can choose Truth or choose all other lies Truth is under assault – by lies since creation – some say creation is a lie A Subjective truth statement is “ I like vanilla ice cream” or “I prefer to believe something that makes me feel good” it is declaring an opinion or personal preference An Objective truth statement is “ planes with no power do not fly well” - “even if you jump high you will not fly” “that ice cream is melting” it is declaring a fact about something or the state of an object Truth is that which conforms to “reality” – is “ reality” subjective or objective? What is real is real whether I believe it to be real or not - reality is objective Truth is true whether I believe it or not Truth is the foundation of knowledge and subsequently o...
