Fashionable today is the inclination of the Christian to speak in generalities rather than specifics. He will shout out tautologies and pound his fist on the podium with phrases that vanish like smoke in the wind. Words and phrases like “justice,” “person of faith”, and “love your neighbor”will be spoken in the hopes that he will not have to actually explain what is true justice, which faith is correct, or how true love is shown to others.
Put another way, he utters many words without saying anything at all. To refuse to talk about specifics, however, is to hide within what may be called the comfort of ambiguity. Now, that comfort will appear to some as deep understanding, or as spiritual caution, all the while appearing to God as misused knowledge. Yet, when someone reads the Bible in an honest fashion they begin to notice that time after time the issues addressed are specific in nature, not general. Man is given more than commandments to follow, but also provided with examples of how to carry out the will of God. There are certain implications that result from heeding the words of Scripture, implications that cause a person to respond in a particular way to the world in which he finds himself living. The purpose of this page - "Implications" - is to make clear the implications of following God. These insights are not always easy to ascertain, which remains a grace in and of itself. After all, the wisdom earned through wrestling with the truth provides much more nourishment than that provided by milk alone. Topics of all types will be addressed on this page, so please feel free to reach out with questions or topics you want to see covered at: [email protected] Thank you for spending time at The Revealing Truth. Be blessed.
