Almost 2,000 years ago, a Roman governor chose to ask a profound question of a man who was about to be executed. "What is truth?" he asked. Most people ponder that question at some time in their lives, especially at critical points when they are struggling with the question of the meaning of life. After all, the need for meaning is a basic human need, and there can be no meaning without some ultimate truth. People go lots of places to search for the truth except to God. Some people search there whole lives for truth but the last thing they would do would be to search for God’s Heart, God’s Plan, God’s Purpose God’s Blessing Guided by God’s Spirit (The Spirit of Truth) from God’s Word. Some people do not believe in an absolute truth. I believe in an absolute truth and I am unashamed in that Belief!..............So, What is Truth?

Quotes:
“Today not only
in philosophy but in politics, government, and individual morality, our
generation sees solutions in terms of synthesis and not absolutes. When this
happens, truth, as people have always thought of truth, has died.” ~
Francis Schaeffer
“Let us rejoice
in the truth, wherever we find its lamp burning.” ~ Albert Schweitzer
“Never let us
be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.” ~ J.
C. Ryle
“As a matter of
honor, one man owes it to another to manifest the truth.” ~ Thomas Aquinas
