Let's choose to love what's so -- what is 100% true.

Stay in the Word. I don't want to try to add to, or take away from, or rewrite some or any of the Bible. Why would someone be so stupid? Nothing compares, but we can speak truth that agrees with the word every day, and we can opt not to speak what goes against what the Bible teaches.

Do you ever ask yourself what reflects some of the themes found throughout God's Word like:

Psalm 19:1 — "The heavens declare the glory of God."
Isaiah 40:8 — "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever."
Proverbs 16:18 — "Pride goes before destruction..."
James 4:6 — "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
Romans 6:23 — "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
John 1:5 — "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
Colossians 3:17 — "Whatever you do... do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus."
Philippians 2:10–11 — Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

"The truth never fears investigation." — Attributed to John MacArthur (this wording is widely attributed to him).

"A Bible that's falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn't." — Anon.

Discernment of what is 100% true instead of what is half or partially true.. is not the rejection of people—it is the commitment to truth so that people can be rightly loved, rightly helped, and rightly led to Christ. Let's reject error, lies, evil, and all deceptions, like with the Legacy Fake News.

Now let's focus on wisdom in practice, endurance, daily obedience, and eternal perspective, drawing from the same biblical wisdom tradition (especially Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, the Gospels, and the Epistles).

Romans 8:18 — Present sufferings vs coming glory
2 Corinthians 4:16–18 — Eternal perspective
Philippians 3:20–21 — Our citizenship in heaven
Colossians 3:1–4 — Set your mind on things above
Revelation 21–22 — The hope of the new creation

I like to keep my fellowship with the Father, Son and Spirit.. simple yet biblical. Life here makes sense when Christ as Lord is at the center, Christ is to remain the focus, Scripture is the guide, and eternity is the horizon. Everything else eventually fades—but what is done in obedience to God remains forever.

Plain Truths for Everyday Life — Distilled Final Section

Truth is not created; it is discovered in God.
God defines reality; man responds to it.
A life built on truth will stand when everything else collapses.
A life built on lies always eventually fractures.
God does not adjust to culture; culture is accountable to God.
Wisdom begins where self-will ends.
Foolishness is believing you can ignore God without consequence.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of clarity.
Pride blinds; humility sees clearly.
The heart that refuses correction is already in danger.
Truth without obedience becomes self-deception.
Hearing God’s Word without doing it produces instability.
Obedience is the evidence that truth has been received.
Sin always costs more than it promised.
Christ always gives more than He requires.
The cross is God’s final word about sin.
The resurrection is God’s final word about hope.
Jesus is not a suggestion; He is Lord.
There are not many truths—there is truth, and God is its source.
Scripture does not adjust to opinion; opinion must submit to Scripture.
The wise measure themselves by God’s Word, not by comparison to others.
Eternity makes every earthly decision significant.
Nothing hidden from God remains ultimately hidden.
Every soul will answer to God.
Judgment is real; grace is real; both meet in Christ.
The gospel is not earned; it is received.
Salvation is not achieved; it is surrendered to.
A changed life is the natural fruit of a saved heart.
Grace that does not transform is not biblical grace.
Faith that does not obey is not living faith.
Christ does not merely forgive; He also rules.
You cannot separate Jesus as Savior from Jesus as Lord.
The Holy Spirit produces holiness, not compromise.
God’s Word is final even when it is unpopular.
Truth does not need agreement to be true.
Reality does not bend to belief.
A culture that rejects truth eventually loses moral direction.
When truth is removed, confusion takes its place.
When God is ignored, wisdom disappears.
The fear of man produces compromise; the fear of God produces courage.
A small amount of truth wisely applied (obeyed) is greater than much truth admired. Who needs mere head-knowledge only?
The narrow road is narrow because it is true.
The broad road is crowded because it is easy.
Jesus alone is the way, the truth, and the life.
Apart from Christ, man is spiritually lost.
In Christ, the sinner is fully forgiven and made new.
The greatest wisdom is to know God through Jesus Christ.
The greatest error is to reject God’s truth while claiming independence.
The end of all things is the glory of God.
The wisest life is simple: repent, believe the gospel, follow Christ, obey His Word, and live for eternity. KnowGod.org
