Rooted in Truth

Posted on by Leave a comment
Tree roots

Believers stay steady in confusing times by being rooted in Christ, not swayed by persuasive but empty ideas.

Scripture: Colossians 2:6–8

As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving. Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elemental spirits of the world, and not after Christ.

When everything seems to be falling apart, stability does not come from knowing every answer, it comes from being deeply rooted. Paul tells us as believers that just as we received Christ, we must continue to walk in Him, rooted and building up our faith. The roots we have are rarely seen, but they determine everything about our ability to stand. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. (Psalm 32:8)

We can see how shallow roots can survive in calm weather, but as soon as the weather gets a little ruff they will fail under pressure and get uprooted. Just like those with shallow faith, it may feel sufficient until confusion, suffering, or cultural pressure intensifies. If our beliefs have not been firmly rooted in Christ and His Word, we can allow ourselves to become vulnerable to persuasive and empty ideas. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.(John 10:27-28)

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. (Jeremiah 17:7-8)

Paul warned us that there will be philosophies and teachings that sound wise but are completely disconnected from Christ. These false ideas often times promise clarity, freedom, or progress but will lack spiritual substance. Discrimination will help us recognize the difference between wisdom that comes from God and pretty little ideas that simply reflect human reasoning.

Living rooted in truth always requires intentional depth. It will mean slowing down long enough to grow, spending time in the Bible, prayer, and reflection. Roots will grow quietly through deliberate consistency. No one sees them forming, but when storms come, their presence is undeniable.

As this week leads into Sunday’s message, this is an important question to ask:

  • Am I rooted deeply enough to remain steady when confusion increases?
  • What helps keep me grounded in Christ when confusion increases?

Stability is not accidental, it is cultivated.

God does not call us to fear the times we live in. Instead we are called to grow deeper in Him surrounding ourselves in His word. When we become rooted in Christ, we are not easily shaken, distracted, or deceived. We may not understand everything happening around us, but we know who we belong to. And that makes all the difference.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, help me to root myself deeply in You so I am not shaken by false teaching or cultural pressure. Lord be my guide and a light in the dark when I need it. In Jesus Name Amen

Renewing the Mind

new years fireworks

Discernment grows when our minds are renewed daily by God’s Word rather than shaped by culture.

Scripture: Romans 12:2

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind…”

With every culture we are constantly being taught even if it doesn’t call itself a teacher. We see headlines, entertainment, conversations, and social media. All of these ideas are shaping how we think about truth, identity, success, and morality. This is why the apostle Paul spoke so directly about our minds. Discernment does not begin with our behavior; it begins with how we think, and what we fill our minds with.

Paul warned believers not to be conformed to this world. Full compliance happens subtly, slowly and almost completely unnoticed. Rarely has culture demanded immediate rejection of God’s truth instead, it slowly reframes and ultimately changes it. As time goes by, what once seemed clearly biblical begins to feel outdated, uncomfortable, or extreme. If we do not intentionally renew our minds, even the most sincere believers can drift into cultural thinking without realizing it. For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts (2 Timothy 4:3)

Renewal, is active and continually recurs. It requires daily engagement with God’s Word. By studying Scripture we will reshape our assumptions, correcting our blind spots, and realigning our values. When we renew our minds, discernment become natural instinct. We will begin to recognize instinctively what honors God over what merely sounds appealing. For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. (Romans 15:4)

Renewal has nothing to do with rejecting every cultural idea, but about filtering everything through His truth. When you renew your mind you will begin to ask different questions:

  • Does this reflect God’s character?
  • Does this align with Scripture?
  • Does this lead me closer to Christ or subtly pull me away?

Renewing your mind takes patience. Transformation is a trained process, not an instant moment. Over this time, God’s truth will change not only what we believe, but how we respond. Our fears will be replaced with faith, confusion replaces clarity, and our anxieties are defeated by peace.

Thoughts to Ponder:

  • What has been shaping my thinking lately?
  • Is it Scripture, or is it constant exposure to unfiltered voices?
  • What patterns of thinking does God need to transform in you?

Discernment increases if we intentionally place God’s Word at the center of our daily lives. When we renew our minds, truth no longer feels foreign, it becomes familiar.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, renew my mind and help me think according to Your truth, not the world’s values. When I am living my life help me to understand and keep myself inline with Your values. In Jesus Name Amen

Truth Sets Us Free

Set Free

You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Scripture: John 8:31–32

“Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.  You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

Truth is not something that is restrictive it is liberating; knowing Christ’s truth frees us from deception and fear. At times people will misunderstand Truth as restrictive, but Jesus describes and shows us that it as liberating. Truth will free us from deception, fear, and bondage, not because it changes circumstances, but because it reveals reality to see it how God sees it.

Aligned: Many times truth gets resisted because it confronts assumptions and can challenge comfort. Freedom is never found in by put our fingers in ears and screaming NA NA NA. Having true freedom comes from living aligned with God’s design.

Free: When we walk in truth, we are no longer controlled by every cultural wave or emotional reaction. Truth will stabilize our identity and clarifies purpose. Truth will remind us who God is and who we are in Him.

Peace: When we have become free through truth it also produces peace. When we trust God’s truth, we no longer need to defend ourselves or be afraid because we are wrong. We rest in Christ, confident that His Word leads to life.

Thoughts to Ponder:

  • Where has God’s truth brought freedom into your life?
  • Where might you still be resisting it?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, lead me deeper into Your truth and free me from anything that binds my thinking. Give clarity that comes from and not foggy smoke that comes from this world. In Jesus Name Amen

Testing What We Hear

Posted on by Leave a comment
riot

Scripture: 1 John 4:1

Devotional Thought:
Not everything we are told that sounds spiritual is from God; having discernment requires us to test every message that is against or seems like it is against Scripture.“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” (1 John 4:1)

Having discernment is not cynicism, but it is careful. The Bible does not tell us to accept everything we hear simply because it sounds spiritual or even if it is well-intentioned. Instead, God told us to test what we hear against scripture.

Being able to test something requires a standard and that standard we have is God’s Word. The Bible does not shift with culture no matter how loud it is, nor does it bend to personal preference. The Bible reveals God’s truth clearly and consistently, this makes it possible to evaluate teachings, opinions, and spiritual claims reliably.

In a culture that has been confused, there are many ideas that have borrowed Christian language while subtly redefining biblical truth. They have messages that seem similar and may emphasize love while the whole time will dismiss holiness, or compassion while completely ignoring repentance. Having discernment asks the question: Does this align with the full counsel of Scripture?

The Bereans were praised not for blindly accepting teaching, but for examining Scripture daily to confirm what they heard. True spiritual maturity includes the humility to question and the discipline to search God’s Word do you know what you are being told.

Testing requires the guidance from the Holy Spirit. Your discernment is both learned and cultivated. As believers grow in Scripture and prayer, their ability to recognize truth sharpens.

Ask yourself: Am I filtering what I hear through God’s Word or through emotion, culture, or convenience? Discernment protects your faith and preserves your peace.

Discussion Prompt:
How often do you evaluate what you hear through God’s Word?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, sharpen my discernment and protect me from believing what is false. Help to block out all of the noise that surrounds me and discern what is from you and not the world. In Jesus Name Amen

Noise Is Not the Same as Truth

Posted on by Leave a comment

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

Scripture: Proverbs 14:12

Have you ever noticed that the loudest voices are not always the wisest ones; “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” Truth is something that often times speaks quietly but carries lasting weight. Currently We live in one of the louder moments in human history, with social media, email, news, and so much more. Everybodies opinions, no matter right or wrong, are shared instantly, arguments spread rapidly, and emotions are amplified constantly.

With this kind of environment, it’s easy to mistake popularity, internet influencers, or the loudest voice for wisdom and overwhelming volume for truth. But Scripture warns us that what seems right is not always what is right. “For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts” (2 Timothy 4:3)

Noise naturally creates urgency. “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.” (1 Corinthians 13:1)The noise makes us feel like we need to react quickly, take sides, and form opinions before we have fully figured out what the truth is. God’s wisdom, however, shows us to slow down, listen carefully, and seek understanding. Coming to the truth does not demand instant agreement; truth will withstand thoughtful total examination.

The enemy is the master of confusion and great at hiding and holding up outright lies. Being able to emphasize distorted truth and wrap it in appealing language which is usually more dangerous than a clear falsehood, look around you’ll see it. This is why having discernment is so essential, not every persuasive message leads to life.

When we try to hear God’s voice it often seems quieter than the surrounding noise, but it is always consistent with His Word and character. Elijah discovered that God was not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a still, small voice. (1 Kings 19:12) Discernment grows when we create space to hear God above the noise.

Ask yourself today:

  • What voices dominate my attention?
  • Are they leading you toward peace, humility, and obedience—or anxiety, anger, and division?

When we are choosing truth in a loud culture it requires intentional silence before God. When we quiet all of the competing voices, it allows us to become better listeners. Not only to Scripture, but also the Spirit who applies truth to our lives.

Discussion Prompt:
What voices in your life are the loudest right now?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, help me recognize Your voice amid the all of the noise. Help me to see You in all of the distractions all of the yelling and show those things are words that are not from you. In Jesus Name Amen

Truth Begins With God

scrabble words that say speak truth

Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

Scripture: John 17:17 “Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.”

In a culture overflowing with opinions, interpretations, and competing narratives, one of the most important questions a believer can ask is: Where does truth actually begin? Jesus answers this clearly; truth begins with God and is revealed through His Word.

Truth is not something that comes by a majority vote, some cultural trend, a social media post or personal feelings. Opinions can shift and perspective can change, God’s truth always remains constant. This is why Jesus, when praying for His disciples, did not ask that they were removed from the world, but that they be sanctified, set apart, and covered by truth. God’s Word should not be used to merely inform us; but rather as an instruction manual to form us.

There are many believers today that feel confused, not because truth is unavailable, but because they are surrounded by so many voices that proclaim authority. News feeds, social media, podcasts, and influencers constantly offer alternate interpretations of reality, you know there opinions. Remember volume does not equal validity and truth. If we allow every voice equal authority in our lives our discernment weakens and we allow ourselves to fall for anything.

When we focus on the Bible and Jesus it anchors us. It gives us clarity when our emotions cloud judgment and the stability when culture shifts. When we have not commitmented ourselves to God’s Word, even the most sincere believers can drift into confusion, even adopting ideas that sound reasonable but quietly contradict God’s truth.

Truth also has a refining effect. Jesus prayed that truth would sanctify meaning it would shape how we think, live, and respond. God’s truth corrects us, comforts us, and calls us to growth. This is not always easy, but it is always loving.

As you begin each week, reflect honestly:

  • What voices are shaping your understanding of truth the most?
  • Are you starting with God’s Word, or turning to it only after other influences have spoken?
  • Where do you most often look for truth before turning to Scripture?

Refinement begins when we choose Scripture as our foundation, not some backup plan. When our truth begins with God, all of the overwhelming confusion loses its grip. Truth is not created by culture or consensus; truth originates with God and is revealed through His Word.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, align my heart with Your truth and teach me to trust Your Word above every other voice. Be the light when everything seems to dark to move. Guide my steps through every rock path in front of me. In Jesus Name Amen.

Psalm 23

It’s on Fire

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Dear Heavenly Father, be my guide and protect me from these things that surround me that I do not understand or that influence me in ways that are not from You. Lord I want to be and act as close to You as You’ve always wanted Your children to be. Lord give the strength to stand against the evil in this world, the distractions and influences.

Exodus 3

It’s on Fire

Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 

And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. Then the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 

And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” He said, “But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.” Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” 

God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations. Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt, and I promise that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.”’ 

And they will listen to your voice, and you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, please let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless compelled by a mighty hand. So I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all the wonders that I will do in it; after that he will let you go. And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and when you go, you shall not go empty, but each woman shall ask of her neighbor, and any woman who lives in her house, for silver and gold jewelry, and for clothing. You shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.”

Dear Heavenly Father, be my guide and protect me from these things that surround me that I do not understand or that influence me in ways that are not from You. Lord I want to be and act as close to You as You’ve always wanted Your children to be. Lord give the strength to stand against the evil in this world, the distractions and influences.

Psalm 34

Taste and See That the Lord Is Good

I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.

Dear Heavenly Father, be my guide and protect me from these things that surround me that I do not understand or that influence me in ways that are not from You. Lord I want to be and act as close to You as You’ve always wanted Your children to be. Lord give the strength to stand against the evil in this world, the distractions and influences. Help me to not fear and worry about these issues that continue to affect everything around us. Thank you Lord for Your protection, direction, and love. In Jesus Name Amen

1 Samuel 21

Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no man with you?” David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me to do something, and has said to me, ‘Let no one know anything about the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you. I have sent the young men to a certain place.’ Now therefore what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever is available.” The priest answered David, and said, “I have no common bread, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.” David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us as usual these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was only a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?” So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the show bread that was taken from before Yahweh, to be replaced with hot bread in the day when it was taken away.Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Yahweh; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul. David said to Ahimelech, “Isn’t there here under your hand spear or sword? For I haven’t brought my sword or my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.” The priest said, “Behold, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you would like to take that, take it, for there is no other except that here.” David said, “There is none like that. Give it to me.” David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David the king of the land? Didn’t they sing to one another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath. He changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard. Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why then have you brought him to me? Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Should this fellow come into my house?”
