the truest truth

I was reminded in chapel today, by Pastor Bill Sheer of Guts church that

1) Rationality is not truth
- Being able to reason out something by logic, having it "make sense" not does make it true.

2) Our sensed reality is not truth
- What we see, hear, touch, feel and taste is real, but not necessarily truth either!
- We live in the world, and our bodies are of the world and hence give us wordly beliefs about what situation we are in.

The truth though, is God's word. With it, Peter can walk on water, a samaritan women can help save a village and you and I? we can get through all our battles, because they maybe be reasonable experiences, that are real... but they cannot fight against truth.

For that reminder, I was very grateful!
