    Wow. Has our society today lost hold on absolute truth or what? I shudder to think how blurred the line between right and wrong, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous will be five years from now! This message attempts to bring some clarity to that all-important question; what is truth?

    What Is Truth? You and I live in a world that has almost totally rejected the existence of absolute truth. The current pervading mindset today seems to be that everyone has their own truth, and that everyone else must affirm them in whatever truth they claim to have—despite how ridiculous it may ...read more
