Facts are a stubborn thing

A quote attributed to President John Adams begins, "Facts are a stubborn thing..." It is hard to deny facts, actually it is impossible. It is facts that get us into trouble, and get us out of trouble. You can't get into trouble for perpetrating some mischief if you can proof you were elsewhere when it occurred. On the other hand, you can prove someone did perpetrate some mischief if you have facts that substantiate your claim.

We often allow ourselves to get hung up on emotions and other people's opinions when the facts are pointing out the - Facts. Facts are a stubborn thing because they are hard to deny and impossible to disprove. I'd like to talk about one in today's word...

Today's word is 1 Timothy 3:16, NLT, which reads, "Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith: CHRIST was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit. He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and taken to Heaven in glory."

This verse sums up the Christian belief, and it is FACTS. We worship GOD, the One True GOD, Who came in human form, died for our sins, rose again, and ascended into Heaven, where He is preparing our place and will one day come and receive us unto Himself. These facts are backed up by eyewitness accounts throughout the Bible.

If you want to know the truth about something, you have to find the facts. And, in the Bible, we can find, without question, the facts that establish our faith. Facts are a stubborn thing...

Be Blessed,
