Ready for Real Freedom? Find Out How God’s Word Can Transform Your Life!


 True Freedom 

Jesus said in John 8:32 NLT — And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. This is an incredible promise, especially if you need healing —whether the difficulty is an injury, illness, a financial hardship, a troubled relationship, or anything else.

Belief vs truth:

Harper’s Bible Dictionary includes the statement when defining truth, “God is truth.” So many believe things that are not true. Truth is something that has to be known, not just believed. I can believe a lot of things that are not true. When I was a kid, it was believed that if you ate something, you had to wait around 15 to 30 minutes before getting back into the water because if you got in sooner, you could cramp up and drown. But now we know that is not true. It was believed, but not true.

His word is truth:

So, knowing the truth is, to some degree, knowing God! We need to pray and read the Word daily so we can know the truth. True things can be proved. So we know that God is a healer. He heals, so we claim that promise. The way the truth sets us free from the bondage of sin is by our getting to know God better. How do we do that? By learning His word. That’s how we will know the truth.

So, let’s get into God’s word more, so we can really know the Truth.


Never apologize for the Word of God. 📖 Refuse to apologize for what God said! God is still on His throne. We must learn to live out our faith in these challenging times, facing peer pressure, ridicule, and moral dilemmas with confidence, knowing Jesus is with us. To stand firm, we must be deeply rooted in God’s Word. Living out our faith isn't always easy, but it is possible with God’s help!

Just a thought,

Discover Gallup, New Mexico: Where Native Culture Meets Route 66 History | A Cross-Country Odyssey

Image
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey  A great deal of my life has centered around traveling on or living near Route 66. In the early 70s, my family traveled the famed highway at least twice a year, traveling from California to Texas to visit family. For thirteen years, I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the old highway cuts the city down the middle, and then several years later, I would find myself in Victorville, California, where again Route 66 was once the lifeblood of the town.

The Enchantment of Williams: Why This Arizona Gem Feels Like Home | A Cross-Country Odyssey

Image
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey It was a warm but comfortable summer night when the little lady and I pulled into the town of Williams, Arizona. Williams has always been one of my favorite destinations because it is the home of the Grand Canyon Railway, which is one of the best tourist railroads in America. I also have a soft spot for Williams because in the early 90s, my car broke down just outside of town, and I ended up being marooned there for almost a week. Despite not having any wheels, I spent my time walking around the town, eating in every single restaurant, watching the trains depart and arrive every day, and basically soaking in the atmosphere. Most people would have been very put out by the whole experience, but to tell the truth, it ended up being one of the best vacations of my life. I guess that in some way, I feel like I actually lived in Williams, if only for a week.
