Truth Talks

Ecclesiastes states that there is nothing new under the sun.  The following ideas have been around for thousands of years.  The Apostle Paul warned his followers that fierce wolves would rise up even from among his followers that would teach false things and try to draw people to themselves.  It doesn’t take long to get off base and we need to seek out and find the truth from God and His Word and have our minds renewed; this is in contrast to being conformed to the world.  God has given us the Bible along with the instruction of the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth.  Please prayerfully consider that God is the ultimate judge and one who we will have to answer to.  It doesn’t really matter what the people around you and who are close to you are saying.  It matters what God says!  May you be enriched in the knowledge of the truth as you seek to understand God’s grace and truth through the resurrection power of Jesus Christ.
