                        Infinite Truth
Hebrews 2:1
So we must listen very carefully to the Truth
we have heard, or we may drift away from it.  (NLT)

     In our fallen state of ungodliness, it is easy to let the voices of this busy, sinful world drown out the Voice of God; Truth that brings joy to living—Truth that saves our precious souls and brings us into the very Presence of the Living God.  But in order to escape the deadly traps that Satan sets for us, we must stay connected to the Infinite Source of all Wisdom and Truth, least we find ourselves drifting aimlessly in an ocean of lies that promises our demise.  It is dangerously unhealthy for our spiritual wellbeing to become so comfortable in our salvation that we become lazy or negligent in the good things of God that protect us from the evil that is eating this world alive. We need God's strength and wisdom to keep us steadfast in our faith. If we are to fulfill the Great Commission of the Lord, we must first and foremost, stay connected to the Way, the Truth, and the Life and listen closely for the Still Small Voice that speaks softly to our hearts.  We must study God’s Word consistently and faithfully. We must love God and people as our motivation, for if we live for any other reason, we are only fooling ourselves, for God will not be mocked.  We must be loyal to God and be everything He calls us to be while we live in this desperate world that cries out for redemption. 
     Satan and His delusional followers are working overtime in this desperate world to fool you into complacency or get you so focused on yourself, that you fail to grasp the true message of Jesus Christ.  This world will fill you with so much doubt that you will lack the confidence to act upon your mission for God.  Not everyone is destined to do great deeds of faith that catch the eyes of the world, but we are called to live our lives for God and others—to love God and others, to sacrifice for God and others, and to do it one day and one soul at a time!  It is never easy to live and love like Jesus, because we are infected with sin, weak in stature, and handicapped by our carnal flesh.   But when you trust Jesus to be your Savior and have the power of the Holy Spirit, you can live and love like Jesus, casting His life-saving Light onto this dark and dying world.

                                          A Whisper of Hope
Tune in to the Voice of Truth, dear child…and listen closely to what I say.  There are many voices in this dark world that spew nothing but lie after lie.  Don’t listen to them for they only lead to death and darkness.  Instead, listen to the Only Voice that is Truth—Truth that is infinite!

1 Corinthians 15:58
So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and steady,
always enthusiastic about the Lord’s work, for you know
that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.  (NLT)

                                    Laziness lets the roof leak, 
                     and soon the rafters begin to rot.
                                               (Ecclesiastes 10:18)
