Josh McDowell says, “[Absolute truth is] that which is right for everyone, at all times and at all places.”
My wife and I are big fans of steak. She swears A-1 barbeque sauce is the only sauce worth mentioning. I prefer a sweet honey sauce. If I said, “Honey barbeque sauce is better than A-1,”

A dear lady in the church I serve shared with me a poem she cut out of a magazine over 60 years ago. It has the spirit of what Dr. Graham’s mother felt about being a mother:
A Mother’s Prayer
Sing me no eulogy of praise,
Give me no hallowed stool;
Just let me be my children’s friend,

The mother said, "Oh? What is it?"

It’s an old stereotype that politicians are likely to “massage the truth” a little bit. That’s probably as generous as that can be said.
With that in mind, I was intrigued recently when PolitiFact celebrated their tenth anniversary. PolitiFact is a non-partisan, independent organization that

A false identify can produce an opposite example. When asked of Dr. Martin Luther King whether it’s true that black people are lazy, over-sexed and got rhythm. Dr. King replied, "Yes, it’s true. If you tell people that for two hundred years that they are lazy, over-sexed,

Here’s an interesting fact that a study revealed several years ago but I imagine still holds true today: 7% of the impact of a speaker’s message comes through his words, 38% springs from the speaker’s tone of voice, and 55% from non-verbals. If this is true, that only 7% of what we say

C. A little girl, on the way home from church, turned to her mother and said, “Mommy, the preacher’s sermon this morning confused me.” The mother said, “Oh! Why is that?” The girl replied, “Well, he said that God is bigger than we are. Is that true?” “Yes, that’s true,” the Mother replied.

Some Christians don’t believe in Hell or The Devil. We should have 3 problems with that.
1 Calling God a liar-It is written in his Word, therefore it is true.
2 Calling Jesus a liar-He talked about it so it’s true.
3 Setting themselves up for a big shock
