Daily book quote - from In It For Life;
Chapter 5
“There is a difference between thinking about, pondering over, or forming an opinion about something without facts or experience and seeking. Webster’s Desk Dictionary defines seeking as “to try to find, discover, or obtain truth.” One seeks by study, teaching, reading, prayer, interrogation, personal experience, digging in depth, searching for clues, and making use of all senses—sight, smell, sound, touch, and yes, even taste. Psalm 34:8 says, “Taste and see if the Lord is good!” The question becomes this: how many of these ways have you honestly sought truth?
In my opinion, the reason people who question the Bible can so easily
fall for the simplicity of a wooden idol, fat statue, or religion that does not
require personal sacrifice of self, time, and money is because they are too
lazy to really seek! It is much
easier to say, “I just don’t believe it.” But that’s what faith is all about,
isn’t it? By the way, they are not questioning the Bible as much as they are
really questioning God. The old saying is really true: if you don’t believe in
something, you will fall for anything! I would add that if what you believe in
is not truth, then you will just fall!” Chapter 5
