KEEP LEARNING

WEATHER NOTE: WE ARE IN ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING BLIZZARDS I'VE EVER SEEN SINCE BEING IN OKLAHOMA.  THIS IS THE WAY WE HAD SNOW WHEN I WAS A KID BACK HOME IN N.E. MISSOURI.  THIS IS REALLY FUN.  I GOT OUT IN IT ABOUT 6:30 TO GO TO BREAKFAST.  ALL OF THE RESTAURANTS WERE CLOSED.  I WENT TO THE OFFICE BUT GOT STUCK IN THE DRIVE SO JUST DROVE HOME.  YAHOO!

A great and important truth of discipleship is that we are constantly on the learn.  We hunger to know.  Truth is a big deal to us and God's Truth will always be larger than our intelligence factors.  When one is done with life, I believe even the smartest will be stupid compared to the available Truth of God.  No one can swim across this ocean.

We are called to know the Truth and it will set us free.  Isn't it odd that so many as myself once knew enough Truth to jail us instead of releasing?  Odd, don't you think, that those who speak most of Truth are often the ones most rigid and most afraid? 

That kind of walk may parrot the word Truth but such is not a walk in it.  That is merely a dabbling in rote religion that bears withered fruit.

Bailing on the Word isn't the answer.  Opening it is.  Some Bibles only open to John 3:16 or Acts 2:38...so to speak.  You know what I mean.  But Life is in there!  Real authentic Jesus-style Life is abundant if we will dare allow that precious Word to lead us to Jesus. 

Keep learning!
