Application Of The Truth

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
John 8:32

Burghardt DuBois, the great black educator, sociologist, and historian, upon completion of studies at Fisk, Harvard and the University of Berlin, was convinced that change in the condition of the American black could be effected by careful scientific investigations into the truth about the black in America. So he proceeded. His research was flawless and his graphs and charts impeccable. After waiting several years and hearing not the slightest stir of reform, Dr. DuBois had to accept the truth about Truth: Its being available does not mean it will be appropriated.

We can have knowledge of the truth that Jesus embodies. Yet, if we do not apply it and live it, it has little effect on our lives.

Prayer: Ask the Spirit of God to help you not only know the truth, but allow it to truly set you free.

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened."
~Winston Churchill
