Just A Thought

George Orwell made this pertinent comment, “In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Free societies stand or fall on the way they handle truth. Politicians who lie to the people are ultimately discovered and lose their ability to lead. Trust is vital for the democratic process. Without God and His absolute truth, political systems determine their own standards and change them at will. One communist-era dissenter wrote that truth was whatever the state declared it to be at the moment.

However, God’s truth, revealed in His Word, is established forever, and upholds individuals, families and their institutions, no matter what. He has declared that ‘Truthful lips will be established forever’ (Proverbs 12v19) such that when He took on human nature in the person of Jesus, He said, “Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away” (Matthew 24v35) and, “If I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?” (John 8v46).

If you want to know the truth about the purpose of life, the future after this life, the truth of Jesus Christ and the reason He came to earth you would be most welcome at our Sunday morning services. He declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father except through me. Whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.” (John 14v6 & 11v26), i.e. the second death that without Jesus we are naturally exposed to. (Revelation 21 v 8).
