Memos from God – Page 32 – Attempting to Understand the Bible

To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction. ~Martin Luther King, Jr., The Purpose of Education

In lieu of #MondayMeditation today, and in honour of Martin Luther King Jr., I have chosen to share this wisdom from him.

Especially now, when information is so easily distributed, it is important not to accept everything you hear or read as truth without checking the facts.

To discover the truth about God, spend time studying the Bible.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. John 10:10

If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:31-32

It is not the flip of a calendar page that makes things new. It is Jesus.

I wish you all good things in 2019.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! May you be blessed this Christmas.

Today your Savior is born in the city of David. He is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11

Now there were shepherds nearby living out in the field, keeping guard over their flock at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were absolutely terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid!” Luke 2:8-10a

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:41

The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. Luke 1:30

An Update on the Updates

LCNovember 21, 2018

Hello, everyone!

All of the content on this blog has been moved to a new server by my Internet Service Provider. In the process, I (or more accurately, my tech guy) battled some glitches, which I hope have now been resolved. I haven’t checked every post though, so if you come across any problems, like missing media, would you please let me know, either by leaving a comment on the post (which requires login) or sending a message through the contact page (which will be added soon). Links to Facebook and Twitter accounts are still on the to do list, but for the moment, you can find them by searching for Memos From God on either platform. Thanks so much for your help, and for still being here. It is still my hope to add to this blog more regularly, but there always seems to be something that keeps me from it. Most recently, it has been technological challenges, and I’m still working on them. My goal is to announce new posts on both Facebook and Twitter, starting today. There will be a new post up in a few minutes.
