Hold on to your hats. Because this is gonna get controversial mighty quick. Are you ready for a cold splash? How about a smack across your face? Or maybe a hair dryer in the bathtub? Yeah, it’s gonna be like all those. And maybe even more than all those put together. So. Here it is. I’ll just lay it out there. Some truth is absolute.
Bam! You heard me (or read it right)! Some truth IS absolute.
And it doesn’t matter how much you disagree with me on this. It truly doesn’t. Because if and when you disagree with me, on this, you’ll be absolutely wrong.
Think not?
Think again.
Unless your mind is totally closed to “new information,” I can show you that some truth is absolute. I’ll list ten things, off the top of my head, that are absolutely true. Here goes…
- You are not me. (absolutely true)
- The sun is not the moon (absolutely true)
- Red is not yellow (absolutely true)
- Four is not forty (absolutely true)
- A table is not a chair (absolutely true)
- A gallon of milk is more than an ounce of milk (absolutely true)
- The sky is not Lake Superior (absolutely true)
- 1000 degrees is hotter than 10 degrees (absolutely true)
- July 4, 1776 happened before today (absolutely true)
- Your parents were two different people (absolutely true)
On the surface, those 10 things might sound silly to sane people who actually enjoy the dependability of truth. And, believe it or not, there WILL be people who’ll take issue with even the most obvious truths.
But that simply exposes their not-so-hidden agenda.
And that’s just to deny the existence of the one, true, living, loving Creator of the whole universe. Because is God exists, then truth might exist, too. And if truth exists, GASP, maybe even absolute truth exists. And that just wouldn’t do. Because that might mean deniers don’t get to make (and enforce) the real laws of life.
It also means those pesky Christians, who’ve been sharing Truth for centuries, could have been right all this time. And that’s just annoying and unacceptable.
But regardless of who chooses to deny real truth, I’ve been the kind of singer/songwriter who has chosen to embrace and love the absolute Truth of God. And I understand it means I’ll have a much smaller (and even non-existent) fanbase, for the most part. But I’d rather be on the side of Truth than have millions of fake followers.
Keep that in mind as you look over my current offering, the Amen Songbook Journal.
Also keep in mind, it’s a physical book. But it also includes your link to all the songs that go with the lyrics on the pages. And it’s also a journal. So you can write down your own lyrics and thoughts as you listen.
But if a focus on the bold Grace message, given to us by Paul, sounds like a little too much truth, then, by all means, ignore all these links I’ve shared. And return to your group hug motivational seminar.
If, that doesn’t send you running for your rosary beads and buddha belly statue, you should get this journal.
And if you get it, leave a comment or email me about your first journal entry or favorite song.
Stay tuned,
For the Truth is absolute and it’s foolish to dispute.
It confounds the wise, but it opens eyes,
And it saves the destitute
