"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" John 8:32

God's truth is plain and simple no mystery there

What is the focus on?

So much for writing a post every day, for a year it's to much work, plus I wanted to look at truths in the light of our world and refocus them in light of the bible. The best subject was the occupy move that spread globally and though it is a real concern and many lives are represented in the protest it lacks a true global approach. If we start to look at world events we quickly realize that the financial aspect is only the tip of the iceberg. Our world is tired of having it's focus on the $€¥£. But frankly it is what drives and destroy's it. But that to is not new it is as old as creation almost

1 John 2:15-17 MSG

Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world-wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important-has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out-but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.

The disciples of Christ knew that already two thousand years ago, our supposedly christian society knew that years ago but again we forget fast. You see in the last few weeks I lived in tension between my needs, my faith, and my desire to draw close to God while I waited to hear some positive from all my job search, and now that I' ve heard and that there is a position for me, the tension is gone , and though I was not approaching God mainly for the purposes of securing employment I find myself in a restful state and would almost prefer being back st square 1 where our relationship seemed more vital. We are humans and fickle we are but thank God he knows us and loves us despite of what we are and as Paul writes we are being transformed.
2 Cor3
16-18 Whenever,though,they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face-to-face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living,personal presence,not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present,a living Spirit,that old,constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We're free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God,our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah,our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.
That is truth
