Know the Truth

This morning I was listening to another great sermon preached by Alistair Begg. He read a letter from a man who listens to Alistair on the radio. The man told of his wife's unfaithfulness in three long-term extra-marital affairs. He received concurring advice from friends, family, and spiritual leaders that he should divorce her and move on - start anew. The man heard a different message, however, from Alistair's preaching. At the time, Alistair was preaching from Hosea - a message of covenantal living, forgiveness, hope in God regardless of circumstances or outcome, faithfulness to God. The man did these things, by God's strength, and God blessed the outcome.

I was moved to get my heart into the Word of God. I cannot trust the preaching, teaching, or the advice of others. I cannot. I can only trust the Word of God as truth. I need to listen and discern what is biblical and what is not. I need to know the Book better than anything else I read.

May we passionately pursue God and His Word, the only Truth.
