Why do we push the boundaries?
Our world creates such distortions, it’s difficult to find anything real. Yet, we often push the boundaries to connect within it.
We keep truth quiet in the name of peace until our silence creates our own world war. [tweetable]
We set aside truth in the name of tolerance until our tolerance becomes our own belief. [tweetable]
We blur truth in the name of acceptance until our blurred vision blinds all reality. [tweetable]
One glance across today’s headlines conveys these consequences. Living our own truth will all too soon lead us over the edge into a pit of our own warped devastation.
Reading the Bible isn’t a homework assignment or an option for extra credit from the Creator. God doesn’t provide His Word of Truth as punishment. He gives us His Word to keep us grounded in reality.
Liberal thoughts enslave us. God’s boundaries set us free. [tweetable]
God’s Word is a gift of Truth, not to bind, but to offer a prosperous life of freedom and joy.

Which gift of Truth are you seeking today?
Good words. In a nation where there’s a church on every corner, and a Bible in every house, we have forgotten His word.
