“We hold these truths to be self-evident...” Declaration of Independence
“For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.” Rom.1
Truths that I regard as self-evident may not be so to my neighbor. I believe there are truths that are absolute, always true and true whether I believe them or not. But not everybody believes this. The Bible teaches that God has put at least the seeds of His existence in every man even those who eventually grow to disbelieve in Him. The Scripture also affirm that there is enough evidence in nature not only to reveal God's existence but enough to leave men without an excuse when they are judged by Him for denying it. I doubt that men so judged will agree with their guilt. They do not do so now and it is not left to any believing person to condemn them for it. Jesus rebuked His disciples for such a condemning attitude. Rather than stand in judgment over men He told us instead to gently serve as further evidence of the value of trusting in God. 5/4/2011 Conversations Within ts (Windsor Rock, AL)
Grace modeste- an "unassuming grace." Any discussion of a spiritual nature should reflect this mutual kindness. The following are simply my devotional reflections each morning. I cast them like "bread upon the waters," hoping that all who find them will find something of value to nurture their own inner life.
