Just finished our second tour through The Truth Project!! If you ever get a chance, you really should watch this series in a small group setting. Dr. Del Tackett is smart, lucid, very witty and also very sensitive, as you can tell by his reaction to several short videos shown during the 12 sessions. We have loved participating in as well as sharing this series. His ability to cut through to the heart of the matter of truth and how it should affect every area of our lives is really a gift, and it is a wonderful way to solidify your belief that the Bible is the profound revelation of God to His People. It is designed as a tool to strengthen believers so they can reach out to the world around them. Find a group in your area & get into it!!! It is really very thought-provoking and even life-changing!!
As someone who really grew up believing God was a vengeful and wrathful all-knowing God, finding out as an adult that He really wants us to succeed and wants to show us all about Himself, and that He has a plan for me, has been amazing. I began that journey back in college, and He has provided people and opportunities to learn these lessons over and over and deeper and deeper. I am grateful that He is a just but also forgiving God, that He loves me all the time, and that I don't have to be afraid of anything when I remember He is in control. That thought especially helps me when I look around and feel like our country has totally forgotten what we were about. He knows what He's doing, and He has the plan in His Hand already. He knows the end of the story!!! We just like to think we are writing it; He already has our plan incorporated into His Plan!! What a blessed thought, and how wonderful to come to know that God as the God of my life. Thank you LORD.
