Disillusioning people is a thankless task and quite plainly does not come under the category of making friends and thinking positively. Nevertheless it must be done if we are to rescue lost men from the consequences of their delusions. So let me say boldly that it is not the difficulty of discovering truth but the … Continue reading “TRUTH:
NECESSITY OF RESPONSE; OBEDIENCE: NEED FOR”

For a long time I have believed that truth, to be understood, must be lived; that Bible doctrine is wholly ineffective until it has been digested and assimilated by the total life. I have held this to be an important element in the preaching of the Old Testament prophets, and I have felt it to … Continue reading “TRUTH:
NECESSITY OF RESPONSE; THEOLOGY; OBEDIENCE: NEED FOR”

For myself, I long ago decided that I would rather know the truth than be happy in ignorance. If I cannot have both truth and happiness, give me truth. Well have a long time to be happy in heaven. Philippians 3:6–8 Man: The Dwelling Place of God, 17.

Our response to truth should be eager and instant. We dare not dally with it; we dare not treat it as something we can obey or not obey, at our pleasure. It is a glorious friend, but it is nevertheless a hard master, exacting unquestioning obedience.… The true follower of Christ will not ask, “If … Continue reading “TRUTH:
NECESSITY OF RESPONSE”

Each generation of Christians must look to its beliefs. While truth itself is unchanging, the minds of men are porous vessels out of which truth can leak and into which error may seep to dilute the truth they contain. The human heart is heretical by nature and runs to error as naturally as a garden … Continue reading “TRUTH:
CARELESSNESS REGARDING; TRUTH/ERROR”

Now I have often tried to make the point that truths that are compelled to stand alone never stand straight and are not likely to stand long. Truth is one but truths are many. Scriptural truths are interlocking and interdependent. A truth is rarely valid in isolation. A statement may be true in its relation … Continue reading “TRUTH:
CONTEXTUAL”

Truth is like a bird; it cannot fly on one wing. Yet we are forever trying to take off with one wing flapping furiously and the other tucked neatly out of sight. I believe it was Dr. G. Campbell Morgan who said that the whole truth does not lie in “It is written,” but “It … Continue reading “TRUTH:
CONTEXTUAL; DOCTRINAL DIVISIONS”

In our day, churches are trying to offer such a compromise between heaven and hell. Some pastors feel this is the way to get along with people and to improve the church’s public relations. Honestly, our Lord would have flunked any such test on public relations. People would not have given Him a grade of … Continue reading “TRUTH:
BOLD PROCLAMATION OF; CHURCH: PUBLIC RELATIONS”

I cannot determine when I will die. But I hope I do not live to see the day when God has to turn from men and women who have heard His holy truth and have played with it, fooled with it and equated it with fun and entertainment and religious nonsense. We cannot deny that … Continue reading “TRUTH:
CARELESSNESS REGARDING”

We are living in a time of soft, easy Christianity. It is an era marked by a polite, weekly “nibbling” around the edges of the Word of God. Our pews are filled with nice, affable Christians who are willing to listen to outlines from the Bible purporting to be sermons. But they fail to absorb … Continue reading “TRUTH:
CARELESSNESS REGARDING; APATHY; PREACHING: RESPONSE TO”
