It is always now. 'Now' is truth and all else is interpretation. 'Now' is what we receive moment in this life. Do we look at what we do NOW as meaningful and indicative of our thinking and guiding belief?

We live in the NOW continually. Now is the only thing we can make choices about. It is like the phrase popular a while back. “Where ever you go, ... there you are”. We take our self with us. So change can only come through our turning to the LORD in truth and sincerity. Scripture tells us God does not hear the prayers of those living in inequity/sin. 'Now' is for doing the LORD”S work.

we are His light in the World.

Let us Walk today with God.

Truth In A Taxi
September 29, 2012

One day when I was in downtown Chicago, I hailed a taxi. Once inside, I noticed several advertisements for a New Age guru posted on the seat in front of me. The driver claimed that this mystic was the “divine one” for our day. He believed that God appointed various leaders throughout the ages, and that Jesus had merely been the appointee for His time.

Of course, I had to disagree. As we talked, I mentioned Jesus’ words: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). Contrary to the cabbie’s belief, Jesus was not just one in a series of enlightened religious leaders—He is the only way to know God, and only through Him can we get to heaven.

As the “Son of the living God” (Matt. 16:16), Jesus didn’t simply declare Himself to be the ultimate spiritual authority. He proved it with His death and resurrection. Christ “offered one sacrifice for sins forever” (Heb. 10:12).

Jesus said of Himself: “I am in the Father and the Father in Me” (John 14:11). Therefore we don’t need to investigate any “new” path of salvation. It’s better to learn all we can about Christ; He is the only One who can provide spiritual certainty.

My heart is stirred whene’er I think of Jesus,
That blessed Name that sets the captive free;
The only Name through which I find salvation,
No name on earth has meant so much to me. —Eliason

Spiritual phonies will only take us for a ride, but Jesus will take us all the way to heaven.

Read: John 14:1-11

I am the way, the truth, and the life. —John 14:6

Bible in a Year:
Amos 4-6
