Truth Defined

What truths are, and what makes them true? Truth: the quality or state of being in accordance with fact or reality; the actuality or correctness of something. Truth is the absence of falsehood or deception, representing an accurate reflection or portrayal of the way things are. It is a fundamental concept that encompasses honesty, sincerity, and reliability in conveying information or representing the state of affairs. Truth serves as a foundation for knowledge, understanding, and the pursuit of objective reality. Truths are basic ideas that reflect being aligned with real facts or the reality of a certain subject. They represent understanding things accurately and showing them as they are. Truth comes from being honest and reliable, without lies or trickery. Truths are not personal or random but are based on real things, supported by proof, logic, and good sense. To understand what makes truths true, we look at two things: coherence and correspondence. Coherence means that ideas fit t...

The Paradox of God's Sovereignty

 Understanding His Use of Sin for His Glory The concept of God using sin for His own glory is a perplexing and challenging idea to grasp. As believers, we are called to wrestle with this truth and seek a deeper understanding of God's sovereignty and His ultimate purposes. The Bible unequivocally declares that all things are from God, through Him, and to Him, emphasizing His unrivaled power and authority over all creation. In Romans 11:36, we are reminded that all glory should be given to God. This includes the acknowledgment that even in the midst of sin, God can demonstrate the perfection of His attributes. This concept stretches our human comprehension, as we struggle to reconcile the idea of a righteous God using sin for His glory. Isaiah 45:7 sheds light on this paradoxical concept by revealing that God is the one who forms light and creates darkness, causes well-being, and creates calamity. It is essential to recognize that God is not merely passive in allowing darkness and ca...

When we acknowledge God's sovereignty, we recognize that He is the ultimate orchestrator of events and circumstances in our lives and in the world around us. This acknowledgment invites us to embrace the idea that everything that happens is purposeful and serves a greater divine plan. At times, it can be challenging to fully embrace this concept. We may struggle with understanding how certain events fit into God's purpose or how they align with our own desires and expectations. Doubts and questions may arise, testing the depth of our faith. Yet, it is precisely in these moments of uncertainty that our faith is refined and strengthened. Trusting ...

Understanding the Divine: Embracing Humility and Awe

Understanding Our Limitations: The Perils of Restricting God's Actions It's astonishing and concerning how often people try to limit God's actions based on their personal moral compass, thinking they know His will and intentions intimately. We need to remember that our human morality is shaped by our limited perspective and is insufficient to control the divine. Let's humbly acknowledge this truth and stop trying to impose our flawed understanding on the mysteries beyond our grasp. Embracing Humility and Awe in the Presence of God's Incomprehensible Ways God has made it unmistakably clear that His methods are not in alignment with ours. It is incumbent upon us to approach the inquiry of His supreme authority with profound humility and profound reverence, instead of presuming that we possess the ability to fully grasp His motives or anticipate His courses of action. The magnitude of His wisdom and the depth of His ways far exceed the limits of our human understanding...
