There’s something about . . .

    Truth2

. . . the truth.

"You can't handle the truth!" Famous Jack Nicholson line delivered with malevolent intensity in the film A Few Good Men.

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Jesus Christ

Other "truth-full" quotes:

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Blinded by the truth.

The truth hurts.

The truth can be intimidating, enlightening, refreshing, or annoying. It can transform, incense, convict, or anger. People either embrace it, argue with it, or refuse to believe it. It can be hard to discover, easy to find, or hidden to those who don't want to see it.

The above line from A Few Good Men is indeed indicative of many. Truth eludes them because admitting it would mean they've lived a lie, believed a lie, or wanted a lie to be true. Many will argue against absolute truth(s), citing different "opinions" in the scientific, moral, intellectual, and/or spiritual communities.

Christians don't just believe the bible is true, they know it is. Their introduction to Jesus Christ is nothing short of supernatural, and they can no longer entertain alternative belief systems. Their relationship has become personal, their knowledge of the spiritual realm explanatory of much of the evil in this world and the workings and influences of a fallen humanity. 

Truth is a precious, pervasive, and life-changing commodity. Available. Discernible. Incredible.

Truth is exceptional and ordinary. Spectacular and simple. Beautiful and terrifying. Amazing and obvious.

Few seek it. There's something about . . . the Truth.

 

Father, we are dead without the Truth. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    And there’s nothing more grievous to me than when you talk to a loved one who has never accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior and they say “I just don’t believe it that way.” They just want God to be some generic pie-in-the-sky guy without truly looking to see what His Word says.
    ARGH! I could scream!

    The tragic actions of those who wish to make God with a human mentality, depict Jesus like a soft – in today’s terms “metrosexual” – man, to make the Holy Spirit practically non-existent or else to construct him as agreeing with their philosophies as individuals doesn’t bode well for eternity. Tragic comes in many flavors, all sickening sweet and fatal to the human spirit.

    This is so good for my heart. My beautiful daughter, the mother of my only grandchildren, refuses to believe the truth. It is a huge wall separating us.
    All I have is Love and Prayers. Hope comes and goes…

    Proverbs 22:6, Lynette. I’ve found many adult children resort to the worldly ways because they think they “missed out” by being a believer. If they’ve been exposed/trained in the Truth, one day they’ll quit running away from it when they fully learn the world provides no answers, no reality, no joy. Keep loving, sister.
