What lens? "Reality Check"

A few seasons ago I started this blog to continue conversations with men that had begun at our church. A number of us really wanted to look at all aspects of life with God's eyes as best we could, and that meant that we had to examine the world around us through the lens of God's word, the Bible. Apart from that sure foundation, all is mere conjecture.

This past weekend, my eldest son, Jeremy Pond, wholly apart from this blog and any impetus from me began an audio blog, Reality Check, with much the same purpose.  His first piece introduced the concept in just under two-minutes. His second dives right into the deep-end and provides a clear, concise seven-minute synopsis of what's been happening between Israel and Hamas, Egypt, the Palestinians, Gaza, etc. You can find them both at www.realitycheckcommentary.com. I invite you to bookmark the site. You'll want to check back from time to time.

So what is the lens through which you look at the world? You do, you know. Something informs the way that you look at things. If you call yourself a Christian and have never before considered examining all things through the lens of God's word, let me encourage you to start now. The best place to begin is with God's word. You've got to know it to be able to seeing things through such a matrix. While my son's audio blog and this written blog intend to assist you to that end, even these must be considered from the sure foundation of God's word.

Give Reality Check a listen. It's worth your time.
