Truth

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” (Colossians 2:8 NIV).

The above verse is enough. Nothing is more clear than the Spirit speaking through the Word of God – not Ann Voskamp or some other deceptive religious philosophy.

Laurence asks, “How many people are beginning the day with caffeine and Ann Voskamp?” It is tempting to take up reading material besides the Bible before moving into the day’s work.

Sunday morning in the sanctuary at Sugar Hill Mennonite Mission, Minister Paul Raber stood with the Bible held high in his hand while humbly encouraging us to say a small prayer before we begin to read it, asking God to give us the portion we need for the day. God will supply. Every time! (Personally, I am often amazed at what God knows about me that I hadn’t realized.)

Minister Shawn Becker’s wife, Bernice, asks, “What does 2 Corinthians 5:14 mean to you?”

“For Christ’s love compels us” (2 Corinthians 5:14). For this reason, I write this blog. The truth is in the Word of God, in the writings of our forefathers, and in present day writings of the brotherhood. These truths give a safe place for our soul. It’s drinking living water from a well that never runs dry.

We must be saved. We must not be deceived. May the peace of God be with you today.
