SEPTEMBER 23, 2018 CLASSIC WORSHIP | 8:45 & 10:00 A.M. NO PREACHING CHAPEL
VOICE OF TRUTH
ISAIAH 55:10-13 REV. CHARLIE WILFONG What do you think about when you’re not thinking about anything? Sounds like a silly question, doesn’t it? But there’s a lot going on in our thoughts. Some refer to it as our “self-talk”. For many people, much of the time, that self-talk is negative. You’d think we would give ourselves pep talks beneath the surface. Most of us criticize ourselves. Not smart enough, strong enough, attractive enough. We often tell ourselves a negative story about our own lives. It doesn’t have to be that way. The voice of Truth tells us a different story. The truth is that we are the beloved of God and made in the divine image. Try listening to that voice for a change.
