Omnipresence and Truth

"God is not somewhere else. God is right here. It is God's world and God made it and God owns it and God is present everwhere in it."

"Truth is everwhere, and it is available to everyone."

"If it is true, if it is beautiful, if it is honorable, if it is right, then claim it. Because it is from God. And you belong to God."

"So as Christians, we are free to claim the good, the true, the holy, wherever and whenever I find it. We live with the understanding that truth is bigger than any religion and the world is God's and everything in it.... Why would we ever be surprised when truth turns up in strange places?"

*(Quoted from author Rob Bell, Velvet Elvis. Chapter 3)
