Truth Project Tour 1

Veritology--what does this word mean? Well, we found out that Del Tackett created this word for this lesson. Veritas means truth and ology means the study of. This was our first tour. We learned that truth starts with God-everything should filter through God as we study truth. Why did Jesus come to the earth? He came to testify of the truth. These are the questions we answered in our first session in the Truth Project. I was encouraged and reaffirmed in my faith. Jesus is the object of my faith. This is such a firm foundation. I hope all of you will grow and be encouraged in the Lord as you build or reevaluate [or reaffirm] your Christian World-view. Here are some verses to remind ourselves of what we learned. These are from the KJV which I think equally if not more so makes the truth powerful!!
John 18:37 (King James Version)

37Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

2 Thessalonians 2:13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

John 8:44
44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Colossians 2:2-3

2That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge

Do you really believe, that what you believe is really real?

Think on these things!!!!!

Summer Begins!!

Its the first Sunday of Summer tomorrow. We are continuing our study of Genesis. We have been looking at the life of Abraham. He gives us great lessons in faith and pioneering. At least that is what I've gained. Abraham was always moving out on faith. He lived in tents and moved around to many areas of the Middle East. God had lessons for him to learn from many different places. Abraham also was being trained to be the father of many nations. Tomorrow we'll look at the faith of Abraham. He was like all believers. He had to believe on God for righteousness. Today we trust Christ the only high priest for our righteousness. We cannot rely on some church or man-made system to provide for us a place with God in heaven. Trust Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone. There is no other way.

This summer dedicate yourself to your relationship with Christ. Be challenged in your relationship by being with the believers.

Sunday night we will meet for the "Truth Project" video series, part 1. I hope all of you will be there to be challenged in your Christian world view.

Know What You Believe!!!!

Christian, know what you believe!! Brothers and sisters in Christ, do you really know what you believe? I've been grappling with this concept as I've seen a supposed Christian sister fall away from the true believing church to Mormonism. It is a startling thing. To follow false prophecy after professing a belief in the Gospel. Brother and sisters study your bibles. Don't take everything for granted. Find the answers on your own first and then seek help for the answers you can't find from an Orthodox Christian Brother or Sister in Christ. There is only one way to heaven and that is through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us "I am the way the truth and the life". Here in John 14:6 Jesus makes the way clear and distinct. There is no alternative or additional information on the matter. Those that are not trusting Jesus alone, the God-man, as the perfect sacrifice for their sin, are destined for a terrible place called hell.

Do you know what you believe, Christian? Can you explain the Gospel. Do you know how to explain that men and women come to God by grace through faith alone? Do you embrace the Trinity of God and the Deity of Christ? These are critical truths that determine if your faith is real and truly enduring when judgment comes.

At Trinity Bapitst Bullhead we are dedicating our summer to teaching the TRUTH and knowing how to defend it. We've enlisted Dell Tacket and the "Truth Project" series to help us. Every Sunday night we'll be meeting to consider how to answer the hard questions about our faith. Be there for our first meeting May 30th at 6:00 pm.

Something to think about :] How to Judge a Great Church
What does it take to make a great church?

1. No soft seats or great light, but courageous leadership.
2. No sweet tones of the organ, but sweet personalities.
3. No tall towers, but lofty vision.
4. Not a big budget, but big hearts.
5. Not money received, but service rendered.
6. Not a large membership, but God's presence.
7. Not what it has done in the past, but what it is doing now and in the future for Jesus Christ

The Lord is Good!!
