July 27 – Just A Bunch of Opinions

2:208 – Just A Bunch of Opinions

#faithbites #faithjourney opinions #DisneyDreaming

For Part of Today, my eldest and I went to Animal Kingdom. As we walked in, a man who worked there asked us to be part of a research survey. He scanned my band and asked if my name was Solomon. He said that is wise. I then said the names of my siblings (Adam, Solomon, Joshua, Rebecca) and said that was pretty solid old testament. He then said he loves the Old Testament but isn’t a fan of the new Testament, as it’s just a bunch of opinions. I didn’t want to get into a big argument and just said have a nice day. Maybe I should have, but this time I decided to just have fun with my daughter.

This is still sticking with me. The bottom line is either it’s all true and God loves me for who I am, or it’s all lies. I don’t see how you can draw the line between “opinions” and the word of God. It doesn’t resonante with me.

I firmly believe that God loves us all, sent his son (who is God), to bridge the gap between man and God. It’s not just opinions. And even if they were, they are good rules to live by.

Scripture
  • The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting. – Psalm 119:160
  • Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.John 17:17
  • They questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth.Luke 20:21
Reflection

These verses and many more speak to God’s word being Truth. Again, either it is all Truth or all lies. I choose to believe in the truth.

Should I as a witness, spoke life into this man? Maybe. Maybe that is why it’s bothering me so much. But I hope that all of those who believe, can both witness, and believe that His Word is Truth.

Charge

What do you believe? Is all of God’s Word true or is the New Testament just a bunch of opinions. Search in your heart and commit to yourself and God what the truth is.

Prayer

Lord, we know that the theif comes to kill and destroy. Help us to be steadfast in our beliefs and be strong witnesses of your word. It is hard sometimes to stay true in the face of pressure. Be with us, reassure us, and help us to be steadfast believers. In your name, Amen.

Need God? Seek God!

Know God? Share God!
