The Truth About the Truth
Perhaps my favorite minister of the Gospel is Richard Wurmbrandt. In one of his best sermons, he brought out a very important truth. Paraphrasing him, he said:
“The Bible is a very important book. It is the truth about the Truth. It is not the truth. And sermons are wonderful things. They can be very helpful. But they are only the truth about the truth. They are not the truth.
“And books about Jesus, Christianity and the Church. They are wonderful to have. I have written a few myself. They are the truth about the truth about the truth, but they are not the truth. Only Jesus is THE TRUTH.
“Sometimes the TRUTH is drowned in a multitude of words!”
There are many ways to learn ABOUT Jesus, and most of the world has learned some things about Him, true or false. But there is only one way to KNOW Him. And there is a world of difference between the two.
Do you know Him?

Disregard my reply of 8/23/13.
I now see that my reply of 8/14/13 is awaiting moderation but earlier it wasn’t appearing on the blog page which prompted my response . Go figure.
Cyberspace!
Only God Himself understands it.
Gary, I’ve tried to respond to almost every one of your blogs and know that I did on this one + God: How Deep Is His Love but you didn’t post it . Was there something about them that you thought was remiss? I need to know . If you wish to discuss it privately, kindly write to me at my email address above.
Yes I do, Gary and I am growing in His grace and knowledge daily.
Now that’s nothing to brag about pride fully, but rather to rejoice in each and every one of us because He is doing something in all of us that we don’t always understand but it’s happening all the same because He loves us and is preparing us for a life without end with God the Father who will be All in all in due time.
He planned all of this before the beginning of time .
It’s a sure thing, so let’s move toward the light together in our lives and let Him use us to build His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
