For several years, the Truth Is... Facebook page (click here) has featured a March tradition called #MarchingThroughScripture. Each day of the month, a Bible verse is posted that corresponds to that day's date.
For instance...
On March 3, 2016, I would have posted John 3:16 (or 1 Timothy 3:16, or Insert a book of the Bible here, chapter 3, verse 16. (You understand, right?)
Well, to commemorate the recent publication of The Best of Truth Is... (click here), and the imminent beginning of this blog's 15th year, I'm taking the #MarchingThroughScripture concept and will be...um...2026ing through Scripture on each Thursday of the year, right here in this space.
But of course, it will be more than just posting a Bible verse a week. Our hope is that the Holy Spirit will lead us to a nugget of Truth worth considering 53 times before we're through. (Interesting note: 2026 has 53 Thursdays, starting January 1 and ending December 31!)

From the very beginning, humankind has not been just another animal that, through the laws of happenstance, finds itself alive and kicking on Planet Earth. We are not a tailless monkey or a hairless ape.*
We were created on purpose with an intentional internal likeness to our creator that renders us incapable of finding lasting contentment outside of Yahweh's design for us to be creative, authoritative, and loving...because God is not only The Creator and The Authority, but he is, to the very core, Love. (1 John 4:8)

Truth is...This verse may very well be the greatest mystery of all. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were completely self-sufficient. They had no lack or weakness. So why create humans?
I can almost hear him say, "I've got so much love, I just can't contain myself!"
