This is definitely a good word, Lisa. My frequent prayer is from Psalm 43:3 … “Send your light and your truth, let them lead me.” With so many voices speaking so many different things, discernment is so important. But I can’t conjure that up on my own, for sure!

Amen, Lisa! May we set aside our own pre-conceived notions and hear the truth whenever God’s Word is being proclaimed!

Excellent post, Lisa, which is one reason I can read a “secular” work and still find truth. (I know Christians who will *only* read the Bible and books by Christian authors on Christian topics). “All truth is God’s truth.” That said, one must know what God’s truth is, and even Christians can disagree about that, through various denominational and theological interpretations of Scripture. But hopefully, we will not disagree with the truth of the Gospel itself and that Jesus Himself is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no one comes to the Father save through faith in Him. And theologically and politically, when we hear what we know is blatant falsehood (I’m not talking about spin, but contradictory remarks from the *same* politician, and that contradict actual facts and evidentiary statistics, or if said politician’s actions or words contradict Scripture, as Christians, bound to tell and recognize truth, we must call it out as falsehood–no exceptions).

Love all you write, Miss Lisa.

Our biases and preconceptions can stop us from truly listening and hearing what God is saying. “When Jesus is being preached? Be like Paul. Don’t shoot the messenger” – so much yes.

Each of us can hear a message differently even when delivered from the same source. We sure have our filters! But God knows who can speak to us individually and sends those messengers our way. We have to stay in His truth and listen, like you say, to hear Him in this noisy world of ours! Important message for today, Lisa. Thank you!

Yes, may we cling to what we know is the Truth through God’s Word. Thank you, Lisa. This is a troubling time, and we need more than ever to screen everything we hear through what God tells us is the Truth. Love and blessings of strength and peace to you!

Yes! This made me think of when on the mount of Transfiguration the Father speaks over them and says, “This is my Beloved Son, LISTEN TO HIM!” iT matters if we are listening to the Word or not! Thank you for the reminder to keep listening!

Philippians 1 is also one of my review projects and I will be taking this insight into it with me on my next trip.

But discerning what actually IS truth is the difficulty. In churches and in politics, each side is convinced they speak truth.
