Loving the Truth

June 26, 2021 • Vern, Charles, and Armad

PURSUING THE TRUTH 1:30 Truth and finding the truth is a big topic today in the social and political spheres. The dictionary defines the truth in one way but is this also how the Bible defines truth? 16:05 Proverbs 23:23 tells us to buy truth and do not sell it. We often hear about our need to be constituted with the truth but what does this mean and how do you do it? 30:12 Why is it so important that we speak the truths in the Bible to other people and how do we do this? And secondly, how can we be faithful to present what the Bible says while still caring for others who do not come from the same Christian background or hold the same beliefs as myself?
