Thoughts and Questions: 

Eine der ursprünglichen Bedeutungen des griechischen Wortes für Wahrheit, aletheia, war das Wegreißen eines Schleiers. Wahrheit ist „unverhüllte Realität"; es ist Wirklichkeit, wie Gott sie sieht. Der Apostel Johannes verband dieses Verständnis von Wahrheit gerne mit einem seiner Lieblingsbegriffe, Licht: „Wer aber die Wahrheit tut, der kommt zu dem Licht" (Joh. 3,21). Wo das Licht der Wahrheit scheint, geschieht Offenbarung, verschwindet Täuschung – die wahre Wirklichkeit wird sichtbar.

Thoughts and Questions: 

One of the early meanings of the Greek term for truth, aletheia, was to tear away a veil. Truth is "unveiled reality”; reality as seen through God's eyes. The Apostle John liked to combine this concept of truth with one of his favorite terms, light: "Whoever lives by the truth comes into the light” (John 3:21). Where the light of truth shines, revelation happens, deception disappears, and reality becomes visible.

The Encouraging Pruner

A couple of weeks ago I completed the 3 Colors of Ministry Test and the results came up as Evangelism as top manifest and Suffering as top latent. Proceeding this I read 2 Timothy 4:5 which related very much to these results and to other aspects in my life.

It said: "...you should keep a clear mind in every situation..." This is something I never do well, being emotional frequently often means that I do not always make the best decisions.
