Truth

What is truth? Webster says it is the state or quality of being true, something which is true, accuracy, sincerity, integrity and most of all agreement with fact.

We now live in a seemingly confusing world; a world of so-called “fake news” and fake motives. We are flooded with TV and radio shows trying to tell the world what is acceptable and what is not.

We are warned constantly of scams on the internet and telephone, and when people come to your door, don’t unlock it, talk through the door. Everyone is trying to convince you to believe their way, mainly for their own benefit.

In my seventy short years on this earth I have found only one truth that is trustworthy and constant. A truth that never changes nor lets me down.

Of course I am talking about Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” A lot of folks try and complicate or even twist the Word of God to fit what they are comfortable with. But the Word is written and backed up by the power of the Holy Spirit.

When we read the Word and take it for exactly what it says, we have entered the truth. The majority of folks don’t get into the Word themselves. They listen to what has been handed down to them or what they hear someone else say.

The Word of God is very personal because it is based on a personal relationship with God. God is someone we can trust because He proves Himself to us consistently when we trust Him and obey Him.

In His Word He foretold hundreds of years before they happened, future events and times so that when He speaks we know that it is the truth. His Word is an accurate reliable fact that we can base our life upon.

If you are reading this and have tried many avenues to find peace and purpose, I pray that you will call upon the Name above every name, the name of Jesus, and walk in the only truth.

For He is the Way for purpose and direction, the Truth for reason, trustworthiness and absolution, and the Life eternal for completeness and self-worth. All those that call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!

For the Word says He is returning and He will judge the earth in truth. His Truth!

Wisdom from the Trail

Hello brothers and sisters, my name is Charles “Coyote” Wilson. “Coyote” was a nickname given to me early in my rodeo years. Welcome to Coyote’s Corner!

Those that know my testimony, know that Christianity was the furthest thing from my thoughts in the first third of my life. Those that don’t know me, let’s just say that I was a gung-ho heathen.

I don’t want to give any glory to the devil because all that I am now and ever will be is in the hands of a gracious, loving God to whom I owe everything. Since I became a Christian back in 1979 the Lord has taken me on quite a journey.

First thing He did was give me a beautiful, on-fire, worship leading woman to help me keep the reins pulled tight and in the right direction. Man did I need it! Sandi is the second best gift God has given me with His Son being the first.

My background consists of pro bull riding and bronc riding. And later in life, I entered law enforcement which led me to two years in Afghanistan. I was a police trainer and lead advisor to the Afghan police commander during which time the Lord had me establish two churches.

As these articles go on I will share some of my adventures with the Lord. From the time Sandi and I were married, we hit the ground running in ministry. We spoke and sang in churches, fair grounds, rodeo arenas, in large forest by camp fires, and any place the Lord told to go. To us, though, ministry was one and one to the people that God put in our path.
 
This is what I hope these articles will do: make people feel like they are being ministered to in an open and personal way. My desire is that you will never feel looked down upon or condemned, but refreshed with the radiant light of the pure truth. For only the truth can set us free!

There are so many concepts of the truth out there and after thirty plus years of ministry here and abroad, we have heard all of them. But I am here to tell you that if it is not written in His holy Word, it is not the truth.

So… let’s saddle up and get ready for the greatest round-up of all!

Godspeed,
Coyote
