TRUTH MATTERS

Our hope in adding this page to our website is to edify God’s people, to the glory of God, by addressing matters of Biblical and historical importance. We believe all of God’s people “must contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3), and especially ministers of the Word must stand upon the truth and stand for the truth. Our Lord, who is “the Way, and the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6), testified before Pilate: “For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice” (John 18:37). Sounding like a modern cynic, Pilate responded, “What is truth?” (John 18:38).

Like Pilate, too many in our day shrug off any serious attempt to seek truth. Some don’t even believe truth exists. Truth, for them, is just personal preference, a personal construct. What’s true for one is not necessarily true for another. This is sheer folly. Relativism rules and ruins too many lives. Christians, however, are ruled by Christ through the Word of God, Holy Scripture, of which Jesus said, “Thy Word is truth” (John 17:17).

Let it be understood at the outset that we make no claim to infallibility in our knowledge of the truth, nor in our interpretation of Scripture, nor in our obedience to Him whom we worship and serve. But we do have an obligation to stand for the truth as it is in Jesus. And, as it is written, “‘I believed, therefore I spoke,’ we also believe, therefore also we speak” (2 Corinthians 4:13). One more voice added to the many already speaking may seem to some only an addition to the confusion. We sincerely hope not. Our aim is to stand for the truth by speaking the truth in love – because TRUTH MATTERS.
