Truth


Truth...

 

One major function of the Church:   Knowing, Guarding and Sharing Truth.

 

One major role of The Church is the proclamation of Truth.

 

Truth is absolute.  Truth does not depend on our opinion about it.

 

By definition, God is absolute Truth.  We are made in His image -- He is not made in our image or a developed perception of our minds.

 

Thus even this page, of course, only reflects our understanding ABOUT Truth -- this page itself is not TRUTH.

 

What is the Church's role then... exactly... re Truth?

 

And how is that playing-out in Indianapolis or other cityreaching movements?  How SHOULD it be playing-out?

 

How would someone objectively MEASURE the level to which Hoosiers cluster around Truth... vs. any kind of 'random' distribution around a set of beliefs?

 

 

Collaborative Efforts at Bible Study (and other efforts focused on discerning truth)...

 

 

 

Anti-Truth?

 

 

Proclaiming Truth... Evangelism... optimally sharing the offer of the Good News for our neighbors... by deed & Word.

Or "How wide is the circle of faith that SHOULD be 'collaborating'?"  Or... "When does 'unity' mitigate against 'truth'?

 

One practical outworking of this question often comes when the Billy Graham Crusade comes to town.  Or Luis Palau CityFests.  Is there 'too much unity'?  These are all questions not easily answered with any great degree of 'concensus' among Bible-believing ministries.  So let's at least outline some key elements for consideration... in hopes of helping everyone at least have a clear view of the issue... and perhaps someday soon, great concensus...
