What brings you nearer to the truth and the light?

It is about getting better...

According to Peter Drucker,  as he wrote about management, the more is drawn nearer the Scriptures.   A manager/management writer has to be near the truth and the light.   For example, he said that one of the most elusive truth in a business is the P and L.  Depending on your accounting policy, you could always alter the bottom line.

Thus you have to find the truth and when you are nearer the truth, you become nearer the Light.  And the Light is the  Lord.

The Proverbs 6:23 says that the the commandment is the lamp and the law is the light.   Thus Peter Drucker and Proverbs are convergent.  There is a truth in commandments that correspond to the teaching of the Scriptures.

Jesus Declares I am the light of the world, the truth shall set you free John 8:25 -58

From the Gospel  of St Thomas  114 Sayings from Gospel of St Thomas (not in NT)

From Verse 61.6

5) Therefore I say: If someone becomes < like > (God), he will become full of light.
But if he becomes one, separated (from God), he will become full of darkness.

Verse 77:   Jesus says:
(1) “I am the light that is over all. I am the All. The All came forth out of me. And to me the All has come.”
(2) “Split a piece of wood — I am there.
(3) Lift the stone, and you will find me there.”


One of the interesting points in the Gospel of St Thomas is that the Kingdom of God is here at hand.   There is a divine light within all of us, we just  need to open our eyes.  We should restore earth nearer to the Kingdom of God.  That means a  lot  of Christian hard work to bring peace prosperity, lessen hardship, sickness, accidents, war and the like.  To help one another  as children of God

Selfishness is the root of all evil and transgression of the laws of God

From Shawne Thomas

From a Bible Devotion

A preacher seemed to have oversimplified sin and salvation by saying that the root of all sins is selfishness.  Say the 7 deadly sins of glutton avarice, greed, jealousy, all stem from love of one self and /or over emphasis on ones desires.  And also the ten Commandments of God - thus thou shalt not steal covet thy neighbors wife etc are all directed against man;s  relentless desire for self gratification and satisfaction of ones desire.

The Lord Jesus Christ has been more positive and simple by enjoining us to love one another as we love our self.   That is depriving ourselves or equaling our love of ourselves and others.  Do you agree?
