The Real Meaning . . . 01/14/2012
You know, I find it interesting that people send me things that proclaim the real meaning of something. I get so many things like this by snail-mail or e-mail that it boggles the mind at just how many people actually believe they have a lock on what is the truth. In fact, just the other day I received a strange "manifesto" of sorts by a religious fringe group out of Texas whose leader was imprisoned for "marrying" young teenage brides for some of his many wives. My question is: When someone writes or proclaims the "Real Meaning of . . ." why is it they rarely, if ever, rely on the Word of God to define such things? Makes you wonder? I hope so. When you are faced with someone who states a belief that they are offering some modicum of truth, always ask yourself if they use Scripture to define their belief. Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. The Word of God is how we must define what we believe and proclaim.

While those basic principles taught him who God is and what He is like, Pastor Rizzi did not have a personal relationship with Christ until age 25 when he received Christ as Lord and Savior.
