All Truth


The great thing about all truth being God’s truth is that we don’t have to shy away from resources.

Yes, we need to exercise discernment. Yes, we need to weigh opinion against fact. Yes, we need to align with correctly interpreted Scripture.

But, recognizing all truth as God’s truth frees us to see past our own circles of comfort and glean wisdom from the world around us.

His truth isn’t bound within the walls of our “Christian” structures, books, or teachers. His scope is much broader.

His truth is on exhibit in local schools, as children learn laws of gravity, apply scientific reasoning, and discover the workings of their world around them.

His truth is on exhibit through both secular and non-secular authors as they articulate reliable wisdom.

His truth can be found in a correct diagnosis and treatment plan delivered by a medical team.

His truth can be communicated by a therapist or counselor within or without of your religious context who deepens your awareness and gives sound advice.

You see, when we realize all truth is God’s truth, we stop trying to fit it neatly into the boxes where we expect to find it and start celebrating the wisdom He’s placed all around us.

To Consider: How might this understanding of all truth being God’s truth free someone to ask for help?
