When unexpected events cause us to question what we have previously "known," do we stop and reexamine the foundation and content of our own beliefs and values? Do we seek to learn and separate "truth" and "facts" (i.e., reality) from the "knowledge" that we acquired simply by rote memorization or that we thought "felt right" -- what we wanted to be true. The most profound truth is acquired by correcting our mistakes or errors. This is especially relevant to the most crucial of life's concerns: our spiritual health and relationship with our Maker. At times, we need to be reminded of, reeducated in, or encouraged in the basic foundations of life itself.Come, take a journey through God's inspired message to mankind and experience what God has done and seen taking place over time.
