Truth must be sought after.

Without effort, truth cannot be known at all.  It can’t be declared on T.V.,
nor set by type in articles, nor in any way sold and packaged “ready to eat.”
Truth must be sought after by every individual with such help as one may
discover.  It will never come without labor on the part of the seeker.  One of
the most striking contradictions of our times is the fundamental reverence for
truth which most profess and the total disregard for it which we practice.

Our actions should be as James Thurber wrote:

“Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in Awareness.”

A.A. Hodge once said:

“It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth, than to find
one intrepid enough, in the face of opposition, to stand up for it.”

Herbert Spencer said:

“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments
and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation”



You will find this Blog to be a lot of articles about what I am excited about, what is of interest to me, or what I have learned in the Word.
If some of the things I say needle you, don’t just dismiss them, and don’t take my word for it. Search The WORD of God for yourself to see if they’re true.  If The WORD doesn’t confirm them, discard them. If it does, let them make you free.
  But don't ignore them just because you may not 'like' them.  Check them out. 
   I did.
 

You can't go with God, and yet remain where you are!
