Fallacy 6: There were over 80 gospels written and considered for inclusion in the New Testament, but politics led to suppressing most of them.

“Delight thyself also in the Lord; And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; Trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”¹

Delight in this verse means “enjoy, be fond, i.e., take pleasure and enjoyment in an object, implying desirability of the object .” It is not just enjoy, but enjoy the Lord. What kind of relationship do you have with God? Is it mechanical, stiff, distant, or fearful. How about delight? Do you rejoice in the fact that when you trusted Jesus as your personal Savior you started a new, living, vital relationship with the God who truly loves and cares for you? Do you truly delight in the Lord, or have you lost your focus? Why not return to the God of your salvation and truly delight in Him. You just might be surprised with the results.
