Who is Reconciliated Truths?
Hello there.
My name is Matthew, and I am a Believer in Jesus Christ’s finished work on the cross, whose blood paid for all our sins by His faith and works that became the righteousness before God (Yahweh) our Father in the heavens for all mankind.
I am an artist by profession, a husband, and a father. I was not raised religious, nor did I ever truly conform to it. I was the prodigal son in all the faults one would use to describe that parable Jesus once shared with His people in Israel. A problem-child in my youth, I was cast away for years to foreign lands halfway around the globe by my parents. I associated with the most troubled and problematic youth of my generation and was tried in more ways than one can count. Yet, I was filled with a deep internal love that I always default to, especially towards others who may treat me at their worst when it is least deserved.
I’ve dabbled greatly in theft, vandalism, assault, drug use, and hedonistic desires, and yet found out only through my worldly failures, God’s internal calling for me to realize who He truly is, and His only Son, Christ Jesus, who became sin for my sake in post-realization of my despair. It was through these hard trials, which brought much heartache, depression, anger, and massive failure through worldly consequences, that I was brought to the humble end of my egotistical human nature.
It is because of these failures that God has called me out to know Him. Not because of someone’s persuasive sales pitch in a church, on the street, or at my door, but because I knew that the world had too little to offer. The answers were not there, but only found in experiential wisdom through life’s hard lessons.
Today, I live a quiet, isolated life amongst the world. I seldom participate in the busy rush of life. Not because I don’t desire to, I definitely still do, but more so because the less I do, the more I appreciate, and the more I love. The world is living in such great abundance that it often fails to appreciate what it truly has to offer.
Reconciliated Truths was born from this quiet place. It is simply my way of sharing the immense peace I’ve found in the finished work of the cross. I am not here to shout over the noise of the world or argue theology, but to offer a resting place for those who, like me, have reached the end of themselves and just want to know the truth of God’s grace. All with the gifted realization that God loves you just the way you are.
Because everything that has, is, and will happen to you is already long ago counseled by Him to happen. Like me, you were not a mistake, a screw up, or neglected. You are everything God intended for this life on earth to become. I am only here to remind you that you will be reconciled back to Him. I will only state as the character Morpheus tells Neo in The Matrix: “I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it.”
May you realize that belief is simply a gift of realization away from where you already are. And if not now in this life, know that there will be more life to come, later.
My Approach: The Method of Grace
I believe the Evangel of the glory of the happy God is the most profound, liberating news in the universe. But I also believe that how I share this truth matters just as much as the truth itself.
The Apostle Paul warned that “knowledge puffs up, but love builds up” (1 Corinthians 8:1). For too long, the beautiful truth of the conciliation of all mankind has been weaponized by some who understand it. It has been used to mock mainstream pre-believers, spark endless online debates, and build arrogant, combative platforms.
At Reconciliated Truths, I completely reject the combative approach to theology. I believe that if the message is truly grace, the method of delivering it must also be grace.
When navigating this site and our community, you will find that I am governed by a specific set of Pauline boundaries:
1. I choose gentleness over aggression.
Paul commanded that “a slave of the Lord must not be fighting, but be gentle toward all” (2 Timothy 2:24). I will never use mocking, abrasive sarcasm, or aggressive shock tactics to make a theological point. The truth of God’s universal salvation does not require bullying to be effective.
2. I value peace over winning debates.
I refuse to participate in “stupid and crude questionings” that only generate strife and heavy pressure of conscience. My goal is to help believers achieve a clean conscience and a quiet life, not to win endless theological arguments. If a conversation costs us our peace, I will simply walk away.
3. I refuse to mock the blind.
I believe that God is the only One who opens eyes to the truth, and He does so in His own perfect timing. If mainstream religion does not yet see the uncompromised Evangel, I remember that “we also were once foolish, stubborn, and deceived” (Titus 3:3). I will not calumniate, ridicule, or look down on those who are still waiting for God to grant them realization.
4. I rest rather than strive.
I am not trying to build a religious empire, convert the masses through pressure, or force a spiritual awakening. I rely on the living God, Who is the actual, successful Savior of all mankind (1 Timothy 4:10). Because God already has the final outcome completely handled, we are free to simply rest, share the good news when asked, and live our quiet lives.
The Invitation.
If you are exhausted by the fear, the gatekeeping, and the endless performance required by religion, you are welcome here. I am not here to sell you a new set of rules or drag you into a theological culture war. Or to sell you a product based on the scriptures. I am just here to announce that the war is over, God is completely at peace with you, and you are allowed to rest.
