This Inconvenient Truth 2022

In 2007 (former VP of the USA) Al Gore won an Oscar for his Documentary on Global Warming entitled 'An Inconvenient Truth'.  This blog is NOT about Big Al, his Oscar, or his documentary film.

But on an awkwardly ironically amusing side note there was a North Pole expedition in 2007 meant to bring attention to Global Warming but was called off after one of the explorers got frostbite. The explorers, Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen called off what was intended to be a 530-mile trek across the Arctic Ocean after Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes, and extreme cold temperatures drained the batteries in some of their electronic equipment.   but I digress.

The real inconvenient truth America does not like to hear is.. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD! 

Our Oprah Winfrey-esk society passionately believes in respecting all paths to god (note the small g) at the expense of compromising honor and worship due to the one TRUE God  (notice the capital G)of our Bibles.

Society says all paths to 'truth' are equal, and deserve equal respect.  Hmmm, well 'your truth' may be your passion, hobby, your so called peaceful center, but still the INCONVIENT TRUTH remains there is only ONE TRUE GOD.  

I like the analogy of the sincere mountain climber who summits Long's Peak in Colorado at 14,259′ believing he just climbed the world's tallest mountain, BUT.. in reality world's tallest mountain Everest 29,032′ is in Nepal. Well, sincerely believing in another god aka 'truth' will find you just as WRONG as this mountain climber in Colorado. In both cases  YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE.

Many say "THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH CHRISTIANS!!  They are so JUDGEMENTAL!"  Well same logic would then shame first grade teachers for teaching 1+1=2 when you want 1+1 to = 37. 

The above Mt. climbing, and simple math analogy, OR.. the fact I can no longer fit into the same pants I did 20 years ago all face an inconvenient TRUTH.  

note: In my defense I believe they make pants with a 34 inch waist SMALLER now.  Maybe it has to do with the metric system? Of course that is my wishful thinking about my waistline.

But back to important truths.. You don't have to be a GENIUS to realize Nature screams that there is a God who was the creator of this world.  

CREATION was not happenstance, and our universe is NOT the random existence of matter and space…. 

Our creator is not Buddha, Zeus, or the Kemp’s Cow for you Hindus.  It is not the Sister Sun, Mother Moon, or any New Age / Oprah Winfrey wild haired scheme found on a Hollywood Astrology Hotline.

The creator of this world and of all things is the God of our Bibles, and may the glory and honor be His and His alone. This is TRUTH no matter if it is convenient or not.

As believers let's celebrate and share this BEAUTIFUL TRUTH of our loving Heavenly Father to a world Hell bent (literally) on being inclusive to every nook and cranny 'truth'. There are so many lost in their own secular humanistic LOGIC while attempting to fit the concept of a God in a nice little man sized box. 

For those who do not believe, I pray you take time to consider these Biblical Truths .. 

• for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23
• “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

I pray you make today the day you accept these loving TRUTHS even though they are not maybe convenient for any of us who want our own way. There is no better time to discover these truths than right here and now.

May God bless each of our lives with TRUTH.. purpose, and love for God and others. 
May this be the source of happiness and contentment and purpose that gives your life meaning like never before. 

​LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS.. leave the rest as details... and by no means an INCONVENIENT TRUTH
