Why is the Truth Still Rejected...the Wayfarer

Why is the Truth Still Rejected Proverbs 22:6 KJV 6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Children, are by far the most valuable and most vulnerable asset given to man in this life. It is their training, education and edification that should be of paramount importance to each parent blessed with the gift  entrusted to them. Yet, what is taught, brought forward as truth is most often the very reason for future questioning of TRUTH itself. Fairy tales told the young are eagerly accepted by minds that KNOW they must be true, simply because mommy or daddy or grandpa or grandpa said so. How disappointing it is as they grow, realizing the truth about "Santa Claus" and the "Easter Bunny" that bring them such joy while the truth goes untold making the lie so much more acceptable to them. How easily are the lies of their peers and teachers accepted as the verity of all that is taught i...

As the day approaches, that the celebration of the resurrection, the most worthy cause of celebration ever given to men, far too many hearts are drawn, instead, to a celebration of spring and the carnal celebration of the devices of men that supplant and attempt to remove the very reason for celebration. The joy of that resurrection and its importance is pushed aside in favor of festivity that holds no thankfulness for the gift of Life given on that day as Christ defeated dea...

“Sufficient unto the Day”...the Wayfarer 11/16/13

“Sufficient unto the Day” 11/16/13 “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself, Sufficient   unto the day is the evil thereof.” (Matthew 6:34) Once again we approach a busy time of the year, when the preparations for various Holidays seem to take precedence in just about all we do or have thought about. As we rush about thinking about gifts to be purchased, meals to be planned, gatherings to be attended, our attention is diverted, once more, from the tasks of the here and now, the today that we must first face. Others are absorbed in the remembrance of past years and the celebrations of those years, and the trials and tribulations that often occur with the passage of time. Neither place, past, nor immediate future, will solve the problems and take care of the needs of the here and now. Before getting back to Matthew, I would take you first to a passage written by Solomon found in the 7 th Ch...
