TRUTH

"How easy it is to be deceived"

January 30 -- Read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17

Bible prophecy is not hard to understand. Just remember, "God wins!" Don't get into useless arguments regarding prophecy. Do arm yourself with knowledge to prevent being deceived because there is a lot of error being taught today. And remember there is no more new prophecy today. It was complete and finished with the book of Revelation.

• Read Luke 17:23-36 as Jesus vividly describes the rapture. Jesus says that we will know beyond any doubt. Jesus says that

1) it will be business as usual right up to the very instant

2) there will be signs like an increasing number of vultures in the sky

3) it will be instantaneous - you will not have time to prepare unless you have already done so. (wars, rumors of wars, loss of morals, etc. as it is today)

• We used to sit in a circle and pass around dope and lies, and now we sit in a circle and pass around the truth. Lawyer Sirls(spoken at a 12 step meeting at New Directions in the Winter of 1992)
  
  
• If you seek the truth and are exposed you will have the experience. Do not try to have the experience and then go for the truth.
  
  
• Truth is absolute. It is not relative.
  
  
• God is not a man that He should lie nor a Son of Man that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?
  NUMBERS 23:29

1. Only 23% of Christians surveyed expressed a strong belief in absolute truth. Many say there is no such thing as absolute truth. Different people can define truth in different ways. What do you think?
