Truth That Sets Us Free
Dear Friend,
In today’s culture “truth relativism” has become a popular belief. Truth relativism is the view that there are no absolute truths. A good example is where some people would say, “there are many ways to heaven” or “what is true for me might not be true for you.” The irony is that Jesus addressed this over 2,000 years ago! John 8:31-32 says, "So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, 'If you abide in my Word, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'"
That’s one reason Jesus is such a controversial figure, even today, more than 2,000 years later. He knew people would want to make their own version of truth, so He clearly stated that there is an absolute truth and it’s found in His Word. So this month’s Box of Blessings is focused on The Truth…The Truth that Sets Us Free!
You’re really going to enjoy The Four Gospels for creative journaling. The first four books of the New Testament are different perspectives on the life of Jesus Christ. They tell the story of God made human, of birth and resurrection, of love and compassion. It is here that God proclaims His message to the whole world, taking it beyond the Israelites and their laws to anyone who believes in Jesus. The four Gospels capture the very beginning of Christianity. The soft cover of this book makes you want to pick it up and spend time holding God’s Word. The wide margins invite your notes and reflections. And, of course, it includes a ribbon bookmark!
I have always marveled at church history and how Christ followers throughout history have lived out strong convictions that set us apart as Christians - and the truth that has set us free in every generation. Author Jamie George does an amazing job weaving together his travels with his family to Christian historic sites throughout Europe and tells the story of ordinary men and women living extraordinary lives centuries ago. Poets and Saints allows you to join his adventures and peek into the past.
The matching Poets and Saints CD by All Sons and Daughters, is the perfect complement to the book. Each song is beautifully inspired by the great saints in the past. I am sure it will bless you as much as it has me.
The boxed plaque has a wonderful verse from Psalm that nicely ties in to “The Truth that Sets Us Free” theme: "All the Lord's promises prove true." (Psalm 18:30) This plaque has an easel back or can be hung on the wall. It even comes with a little booklet titled, “We All Need Hope.” It’s the perfect gift to give to someone who is searching for the Truth. (Did I mention that it’s already boxed, ready to give as a gift?!)
Please be sure to reach out to others with the Christian encouragement cards that help point people to Jesus. These cards are specifically written for people who are going through times of suffering. These cards will help you start your own ministry of encouragement as you share the Truth that sets us all free!
