Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Greg Watson and I started this blog in order to put pen to paper (so to speak) about some of my musings as I journey down the Christian path. My goal here is to try to find the Truth. That explains the website address ”queso veritas” – it’s Latin for “ask for truth”.
I like to reference the book of James when it comes to asking from God. James 1:5 says:
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 4 implies that we don’t receive from God because we don’t ask him for the right things or with the right motives. However, God wants us to know the truth. How do I know this? Because Jesus said that He is the way, the TRUTH, and the light. I’ll bet my last paycheck that God wants us to know the truth because Jesus is the Truth and God certainly wants us to know Jesus. So if we ask God for the Truth, do you think God will give it to us? My thought is “absolutely” and my experience is generally sooner than we expect.
So that’s the thought process behind the blog – but what’s with the name? Obviously, “SonBurn” is a play on words. What happens when we get too much exposure to the physical sun? We get a sunburn, right? People can see the evidence of where we have been and what we have been doing. For the Christian, just like a normal sunburn, the more exposure we receive from Christ, the more people can see it on our faces. They can tell what we have been doing, what we have reading, and what is important to us. In other words – we get a SonBurn!
Maybe we can use our SonBurn to help others answer their own questions about what is the Truth. After all, that is a big part of being a Christian – helping others find Christ just as we did. That’s called the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).
So happy reading!! Feel free to comment as often as you like – I’d love to hear from you!
