In The Search For The
Truth
Go To The Source - Look In The Book
First, it must be noted here that we are speaking of
THE TRUTH, not just A truth. We are not concerning ourselves
here with those so-called "discoveries of truth" that are revised and/or
updated with every new concept of what truth is supposed to be in line with
the current thought of science or technology or philosophy. These things are always subject
to change in a moment. But here, let us consider REALITY, which never
changes, no matter who is comparing it with what or whom. The truth is the
truth, whether we believe it or not; whether we agree with it or not; whether
we accept it or not. Truth is truth, and will stand as truth even when all
the knowledge, understanding or great swelling ideas and words have come
to an end. Remember always that opinions are like noses, in that everybody has one
and "political correctness" may very well change with the very next election.
There are so many who are enraged against the Truth simply because it
makes them out to be wrong. They would rather tear down plaques or remove monuments or ban
books or people who speak out against them (as if such actions could really change anything).
When one considers the consequences of "willful ignorance" it should motivate one to desire to
know what is really true! What has been from the beginning of it all? What will be at the ending
of it all? What has that to do with me? Why am I here? Where am I going? Is there a Heaven? Is
there a Hell? If there is, which one is my destiny? Can I determine my own eternal destiny?
People of any intelligence at all should surely want to know.
Where does one begin to seek for such a treasure as
the reality of the truth? To borrow from an old cliche: "It is always best
to start at the beginning." The truth has always been here, as it will always
be, and, it is always available to the sincere seeker. If you would know
the truth as it pertains to you, then you must accept it as it pertains to
each and every one else. Truth is never a respecter of persons. What applies
to one of us applies to all of us. Truth is truth to one and to
all!
- Pastor John Lowery -
What
Is  Truth?
Jesus Said:
"To this end was I born, and for
this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.
Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. If ye continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free."
[John 18:37;
8:31-32] |
