coffee will be hosted by ACTS.
REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
Often we are unable to identify the truth in our lives. Is our
passion love or lust? Is our financial security greed or wise
preparation? Is the raising of our children good discipline or
carving them into our own image and likeness? Is our religiosity superstition or faithfulness to the tradition? Do our dreams
nurture the Kingdom of God or the Tower of Babel? In other
words, is it from God or is it from the Other Side? So we look
about us, and because our neighbors’ lives seem little different
from our own, we put into any self-help harbor that seems able
to shelter us from aimless drifting.
Most of us, I suspect, wonder if there is anyone who knows the
deepest truths, whether they be about life or about our world or
even about ourselves. So we find ourselves gathering about
Jesus, though even then some may do so half-heartedly—at
times trusting that he will have some sort of answer and at other
times wondering if he indeed does, yet not knowing where else
to go. And so we gather, like sheep around a shepherd, simply
because every other voice has been heard and found wanting.
