“Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth.” — Daniel 9:13 (NIV84) Yesterday we looked at the words of Jeremiah to a nation about to be […]

“Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice.” — Isaiah (59:15, NIV84) We have all heard the phrase, “there is nothing new under the sun.” The implication is that a generation of people rise up thinking they have achieved some higher thought […]
03/19/22 Daily Devotion – Are you ‘born again’?
“In reply Jesus declared, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’” — John 3:3 (NIV84) I am certain that it is wrong to say that one of Jesus’ truth claims is more important than another. Obviously, coming from Jesus they are all equally true and […]

“Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding.” — Proverbs 23:23 (NIV84) Biblical truth is a prized possession.

“The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.” — Proverbs 12:22 (NIV84) The Lord detests lying lips because they are demonically directed, sinfully motivated and absolutely contrary and destructive to His truth.

03/15/22 Daily Devotion – The choice is not to define truth, but to accept it!
“I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws.” — Psalm 119:30 (NIV84) For many in our society today, truth is defined in the moment. They would say that truth cannot be an absolute (which is an absolute), but is relative and defined by the person. This worldview makes us […]
03/14/22 Daily Devotion – Once we know truth, recognizing falsehood gets easier!
“You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.” — Psalm 52:3 (NIV) We are in a series of devotions discussing the topic of truth. We have established the necessity for the existence of truth. Without it there would only be chaos. We have laid a foundation from God’s Word that tells us […]
03/13/22 Daily Devotion – ‘Truth in the inner parts’ — What does that mean?
“Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.” — Psalm 51:6 (NIV) What does it mean to have truth in “the inner parts” and “in the inmost being”? The psalmist says this is something that God desires of us. How long have you known that 2+2=4? Obviously since […]

I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.” — Psalm 40:10 (NIV) The truth is meant to be communicated and shared. God’s truth is not something to be concealed and hidden. It is to be […]
