I include myself in this chastisement. I have tried to learn not to believe everything I'm told but to seek Truth for myself, asking for wisdom and guidance. I've learned the hard way that all people are fallible...So I only trust in the One who is infallible to lead me to understanding truth.

Baby birds Tucked in warm pew-nests Mouths agape to catch masticated lies Rather than growing Mature enough to bake The bread of life Frightened animals Leaving blinders on So our blind leader We can trust and believe Rather than being brave enough to look At truths before unseen Scorpion stung prey Backbones turning to mush With the poison venom of What we want to hear Rather than standing strong in The boots and armor Of Truth we should wear

I'm a huge advocate of truth, particularly Biblical truth. These days though, many are content with shades of grey. Nice use of illustrations

Thanks Tom...I grew up believing so many things that were just man made tradition, not truth. I refuse to live by those rules. If God shows me in His word then I believe 100%and try to follow that truth. And i don't judge anyone who chooses to go another way in life. I just want them to make an informed decision. Sounds like u feel the same way! :) xo
