The Earth is Flat?

“What is truth?” Pilate asked (John 18:38)

belief: /bɪˈliːf/ noun

an acceptance that something exists or is true; something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion

A belief is anything that you accept as true.

That does not necessarily mean that it is true – it just means that you believe it to be true.

This is significant because what you believe shapes your life – your thoughts, your actions, your entire worldview.

What you believe is either helping or hindering your progress and your success in life.

For instance, for a long time people believed that the earth was flat; that if you went far enough across the sea you would eventually fall off the edge of the world. That was until Ferdinand Magellan settled the matter once and for all by circumnavigating the globe.

Removing blood from patients was thought to be beneficial so bloodletting was the treatment of choice for many diseases for over 2000 years. That was until scientists like Louis Pasteur discovered the microscopic creatures that were actually responsible for spreading disease.

So what about you?

What ‘flat earth theory’ do you hold that is stopping you from going forward in your life?
