The Truth

Truth is important but "the Truth" is much more important. Jesus said that He is the Truth. So maybe we need to read the verses above again substituting Jesus for "the Truth" and also substituting Jesus for "the Word of God". This gives a different meaning to some of these passages.
Just a thought.

Truth is it's own reward

Jan:
One thing I've noted is that the revelation I receive is the same other Christians have recently received, my strugles are the same other Christians have recently struggled with. In other words, the true Church moves in unison and we are not standing alone out on a limb. Our church has fallen off the Rock and this weekend I have to be bold and guide our pastor back to the Truth. I don't want to do it, but he has drank the Bill Hybels Kool Aid so long that the church has lost its way. I have comfort in knowing that I am not alone in this task. Bless God, John

Every family that loves Jesus Christ and the Truth of the Bible needs to have a copy of this book. We have read it twice and as a family.

The Truth War

"Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this Book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be." (Revelation 22:10-12). In these verses we can see a polarization between the righteous and the unrighteous: a very pressing conflict between those who will stand for God's Will and God's Kingdom, the preeminence of Christ; and those forces at work that would render powerless the Testimony of Jesus by keeping the saints focused on the natural, the flesh-and-blood, the carnal, and the temporal. Many elements and factions within the Church itself do not accurately represent the heart and mind of God, but claim to.
Organized Religion claims to represent Christ in the earth, but if that representation is faulty then it is almost as bad as having no representation at all, and in many respects it is preferable to the enemy, for now he is able to distort God as God and reduce Him down to the level of our own vain imagination. The Testimony of Jesus does not consist of what we think or say about Jesus; it is the revelation of Christ as He in fact is. To manifest HIM as He is, in life as well as words, is to properly bear the Testimony. The problem is that most church houses claim to have the Testimony of Jesus when they are in fact representing something which is NOT Jesus, but is actually far removed from the revelation of Christ.

Praise God that Jesus is what he is and NOT what most churches say he is. Good post George. Lou

Deception, of course, has existed since the Garden of Eden....but never have I seen it on the scale that exists today, both in the church and the secular world. Thank you for being a voice for truth.

I am one who was like the frog in the pot being slowly cooked in the waters of the social setting of the church, the lets enjoy ourselves and not get too involved in the things that really matter. Praise God for lighting the fire and making me jump out of the pot. It is dufficult to make others who are comfortable with the 'lifestyle' of the modern Christian to understand and get on the side of the TRUTH of the Word of God and truly live for Him and stand up for His Word.

The War Against Truth

Not only do I own a copy of The Truth War, I have read it twice and am in full agreement with you...everyone who calls him(her)self a Christian needs to read this book. You do good to promote it.
My pastor, just this past December, was confronted by the "founding families" of our little Baptist Church for "pushing a creationist agenda, and we don't much like it!" Not only that, he was told that his stand against abortion "goes against what we believe!"
Needless to say this little church has not had a baptism ceremony in over two years.
