CAPA Corner: The Truth

By  | 
    Sometimes I get frustrated reading the paper, listening to the news, or just generally trying to figure out what is the TRUTH about what is going on in the world today!  Here’s my problem!  Whether it is National Budget and Debt, Obamacare, Global Warming, Coastal Restoration, Core Curriculum, Economic Growth, Education Reform, National Security, Consolidation of State/Parish Police, LSU Football or less importantly, is fish oil good for your heart?/caffeine harmful?/should I take a baby aspirin every day for my heath? – conflicting opinions, reports, research comes out every day! One day, this is the TRUTH!  A week later, no this is the truth!  Well intentioned men and women of high status, great intelligence, significant education and experience don’t seem to know what is TRUE!  So I conclude, how then can I know the TRUTH about all this stuff?
    I want to stay informed, to come to good conclusions, to live intelligently, to know the TRUTH.  In many areas of life, I doubt I will ever really know the whole TRUTH!  But in one area – I think it is the most important one – we can know the TRUTH!  Jesus said, “I am the way and the TRUTH and the life!”  In all my confusion about all the stuff that is happening in the world today, Jesus has settled my heart.  I can know the TRUTH!  His name is JESUS!
