Truth Defined: Are Truth and Love in Conflict? Sample

Have you ever talked to someone who answered everything you said with “Yes, but. . .”? They agreed that what you were saying was true but felt like there was something else that needed to be factored in to explain or justify their actions.

God’s truth is unchanging and immovable. It is as applicable to us today as it was to Adam and Eve. When we are tempted to respond to God’s truth with “Yes, but. . .” we know that we have allowed something to drain God’s Word of its power.

In the first Bible passage today, the author of Hebrews warns his readers to guard against drifting not just from the truth, but from God's truth that has stood the test of time. God’s truth has proved reliable again and again. So if you feel like you're drifting, anchor yourself to something dependable. Anchor yourself to God.

In the second passage, the Psalmist tells God’s people to listen to God and not harden their hearts and turn from Him, like many have done in the past. You may have recently given into the temptation to listen to another voice that seemed to promise better things than what God has promised you. If that is you, it is never too late to turn back to the Lord. Listen to His voice today.

How can you “listen very carefully to the truth” you have heard? How can you avoid drifting away?
