Truth Applications is a title designed to reflect a determination to search for, understand, and explain truth. I believe  that, as Immanuel, Jesus embodies and reveals the most significant truth (John 1:14; 8:32; 14:6, 9; 17:17). I believe everyone should know, love, and live in imitation of his example and teaching. My search is admittedly incomplete since I am, by virtue of limited understanding and failure to match God's glory, imperfect. But, like Paul, I seek to better "know him . . . , pressing on . . . because Christ Jesus has made me his own" (Philippians 3:12). ~ David Anguish

Obiter Dicta
"an incidental or passing remark, opinion, etc." ~ Dictionary.com

Quotations I've found especially thought-provoking
“Evangelical Christians are far too ready to treat God as a heavenly buddy. We are blind to his glory and deaf to the voice that is the sound of many waters. If I knew how to make you tremble and quake in his presence, I would.” - John White, Daring to Draw Near: People in Prayer, IVP Classics update edition, 114

“We may point out the great difference that has come to exist between the Christianity of the early days and that of today. To us it has become a performance, a keeping of rules, while to the men of those days it was, plainly, an invasion of their lives by a new quality of life altogether.” — J. B. Phillips, Your God Is Too Small (Macmillan Paperbacks, 1961), 119
