I read this and it really hit me this morning. As a parent and one who is just trying to live life, I was struck by the clarity in which this reality was presented.

Self Discovery: “Truth has to be owned. And the way we own it isn’t via someone telling us about it. That’s second-hand knowledge. We have to experience it for ourselves.”

(Via The Batterson Blog – Thoughts on Life and Leadership.)

We can hear all the truth, we want but it does not really make a difference till we act on it. That action might be changing the way we do something or it might be deeper than that. It might require us to change our core convictions.

No matter what it requires, just hearing it means nothing. Believing that truth (assuming it’s based on scripture), and acting on it are key in having impact in this world for God.

Thanks Mark!
