Augustine on the Truth

You [God] were not those empty fictions [of pantheism], and I derived no nourishment from them but was left more exhausted than before.

—Augustine, Confessions, 3.6.10

Starved for truth, Augustine was looking for it in all the wrong places and was left exhausted from the lies that purported to be truth. Likewise, when we seek to quench our deep-seated desire for the truth by embracing anything other than the Living and Triune God, we will surely come away exhausted because only God is the truth. Only in God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is there life and he desires each of us to have it.

Where are you seeking to quench your thirst for truth?
