The Bible on Trial~

Surprise, Surprise~

There are good surprises, and there are bad surprises. Good - going home after work and finding a surprise birthday party waiting for you. Bad - walking outside to get in your car to go to work and finding a flat tire.

Surprised come in a variety of degrees. High - finding an unlooked for bonus in your direct deposit from work. Medium - finding a $20 bill in the pocket of a pair of jeans you haven't worn for 6 months, Low - testing positive for Covid.

There are also surprises of the soul, where something that you learned as a child turns out to not be true, or something that you believe to be true turns out to be false. These types of surprises can actually hurt more than the ones that are merely physical, because they go the heart of your belief system and twist it into something that you don't recognized. This type of emotional/spiritual pain can debilitate you, or call you to action in finding the truth. One reaction is that you simply decide to stick with the 'tried and true' way of your present life, or you can decide to find out if that 'surprise' that is causing you pain is, in fact, true - and now you must deal with it.

So when you find out by listening to our programs on Spirit of Truth Radio (blogtalkradio.com/sot) things that challenge your current belief system, you have to make the choice to research for yourself and find out if it is true, or not, or just decide to stick with but 'brung' you, and go on living your life believing that God loves you and will save you in your ignorance and sin because He loves you.

Doing this with bring you a surprise that you truely don't want to see. Surprises can bring you both pain and pleasure. It is your decision as to which you recieve.
