Nothing But the Truth!


God's word provides some practical tools for dealing with a battle that the Bible says as Christians we are facing daily. Contrary to what many might believe, being a Christian is difficult and we are at war as Ephesians 6:11-17 tells us. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians also reminds them (Eph 2:2-3) that as Christians we are going to find that this war takes place in three areas our lives: the world, the flesh and the devil.


The mission of this ministry is to focus on providing resources that help Christians focus on fighting the good fight in these areas of their lives through good biblical tactics and strategies that build a solid foundation for theology. In Ephesians 6:11-17 Paul list several pieces of armor that Christians are to use in fighting against the devil schemes, the flesh, and the world.


One of the first pieces of armor he lists is the belt of truth. Truth is the most important part of a Christians life and why I believe that Paul lists this piece of armor first among the others. Jesus said that he is "the way, the truth and the life" (John 14:6) and it is only through Him that anyone is going to be in with God eternally. It is important to see that without truth, the rest of the armor listed by Paul in Ephesians is useless as we would not have the Spirit of truth (John 15:26). Jesus also said that knowing truth will make you a free person (John 8:32).

Scripture places a high degree on truth as an essential attribute of God and His word. The Bible treats truth and the knowledge of it as vitally important to the nature of God and our relationship with him. Theology is the study of God. Therefore, it is important that we have correct teachings and correct theology.


Second Timothy 3:5 -7 tell us there will be people in the last days who will have "the appearance of godliness, but denying its power." The passage here in Timothy tells us to avoid such people because they are "always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth."


It is also important to remember that God "wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth."
