TRUTH IS UNDER ATTACK
“In passing we should note this curious mark of our age: The only absolute allowed is the absolute insistence that there is no absolute” ― Francis A. Schaeffer
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,” (, NASB95)
WHO WILL YOU BELIEVE?
Skeptics deny that there is truth
Postmodernist think there is no particular truth (absolute truth) truth is relative.
Truth is different for each person.
Pluralism thinks that all truth claims are valid
I came to testify to the truth
Everyone who is of truth hears my voice
John 8:
John
How are we hindering the truth of the gospel?
How are we not being straightforward about the truth of the gospel?
Jesus came was so that we could...
see truth
hear truth
know truth
John 17
What truth is not
Truth is not simply whatever works
Truth is not simply what is coherent or understandable
Truth is not what makes people feel good
Truth is not what the majority say is true
Truth is not what is comprehensive
Truth is not defined by what was intended.
Good intentions can still be wrong
Truth is not how we know, truth is what we know
Truth is not simply what is believed.
A lie believed is still a lie
Truth is not what is publicly proved.
A truth can be privately known.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
KNOW THE TRUTH
BELIEVE THE TRUTH
SPEAK THE TRUTH
LIVE THE TRUTH
