Confident HopeFaith Gives Us Hope Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) Meaning of Faith1 Timothy 4:1-7 New International Version4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. 6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters,[a] you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. 7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For ReflectionHow does one live in a world where the truth is optional? How does one survive the false witness of religious leaders who align themselves with idolators? How does one live inside an Alice in Wonderland myth?
There is only one way; stay true to the creator of the universe, the loving living God, the one immutable truth. -- God's will ultimately overcomes all things and emerges victoriously. PrayPray and have confidence in the promise of God.
