When we won't let truth affect our views, we stay stubbornly implanted in misunderstanding, distortion, sometimes even a cesspool of thinking.
But we do it all the time.
We have images of events, people, even God, and our perceptions create those images.
Is truth a reality that we must consider?
Politics, relationships, decisions, organizations...truth has a bearing on how effective all of these work.
Is there a place to begin?
It seems to me there are two points of truth that must be delivered to us, considered by our hearts and minds, and then decided upon. To avoid them seems too big, catastrophic even.
What does God have to do with our whole presence in this world?
And, if he is who he says he is in the Bible, then Jesus--his birth and his death--matters, like really matters, in fact is the crux of the whole thing.
As we head toward Easter, would you ponder truth? Not just truth for these two points, but for all of your images--of events, of people, of yourself.
Truth matters. It is the single-most freeing enterprise in our earthly journey.
