9/08/07 - Life Journal - The Lamb with the Voice of a Dragon

11Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.

Revelation 13:11

There will be many that look like the lamb but if we listen closely we will here the voice of the dragon! The bible is full of warnings of false prophets but through scripture study and prayer we will be able to discern the words of the wicked.

There is so much information readily available now. Hundreds of commentaries, thousands of blogs, books, podcasts of sermons........how are we to know the truth? The truth is in our hearts already, we just need to go to Him in prayer to give us the wisdom and constantly seek the truth. We will never achieve ulitimate wisdom here on earth but that is no excuse not to strive for it.

Lord help me filter out all the trash and guide me through the information overload to see Your simple message.

I'm Learning, a little at a time.

I admit that I'm relatively new to the blog world and the never ending conversations taking place. There are so many points of view and there are good arguments involved in each of them. My blog has become a patchwork of things I have digested in hopefully working out just what I'm supposed to do as a Christ Follower. I'll probably jump to conclusions and I'll get some things wrong. Bear with me and feel free to comment, correct and critique.

I just read "A Creed Pt.1" at Kathy Hanson's blog Beyond Words that brings to light the misconceptions I had about some of the things I read at The Naked Pastor. Those first century believers had such strong faith they didn't need all the theology and hermeneutical dissections to humbly praise Him. They truly saw Him.

So onward I go, still searching for meaning, but maybe relying less on my so called intellect and just worshiping the Living God.
