Redeeming The Time

In our day, many sins, opinions, and lifestyle choices being described is "living your own truth." It is quite impossible for man to be his own truth, as only Jesus Christ is the Truth. The readings for today show the results when a man tries to live according to his own truth. The people of the Gergesenes rejected the Light, and St. Paul's description of such people sounds very modern and contemporary: "For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God." Romans 10:1-10, Matthew 8:28-9:1
