136. TRUTH
--page 1048--
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life (Jn.14:6).
1. We know what is true or false by the standards of God's Word!
2. Only fraud and falsehood dread examination. Truth invites it.
3. Whatever is only almost true is quite false and among the most dangerous of errors, because, being so near truth, it is the more likely to lead astray.
4. You can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the Light.
5. Delusion must be destroyed in order to build a firm foundation of truth.
6. As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.
7. Facts do not cease because they are ignored.
8. Better to speak truth rudely than to lie correctly.
9. We search the World for truth, we cull
The good, the pure, the beautiful,
And, weary seekers of the best,
We come back laden from our quest,
To find that all the sages said
Is in the Book our Fathers read.
10. Because nobody else is preaching the Truth, we have to almost over-preach it!
11. If it's against what the Bible says, it just isn't so!
12. There's no way they have to fight the Truth but to try to kill the Truth-giver, and this is what they did to Jesus and every man of God that's ever arisen to speak the Truth of God!
13. Do you know what killed Jesus?--Love and the Truth!--Because that's what He was and that's what He had and His enemies hated Him for it! They killed Him because He told the truth and preached love!
14. The truth of God's love is the most dangerous doctrine in the whole World because the forces of the Devil hate it and will fight to the death to try to kill it!
15. You don't have to know all the evil machinations of the Enemy to be able to fight him. You don't have to know evil to fight evil--all you have to know is the Truth!
16. We're sort of centrists striking a middle-of-the-road path. The exact truth usually seems to be somewhere down the middle with some truth and right on both sides.
17. When God tells you something, He means it. When He tells you the Truth, He's not kidding, and if you'll obey and follow it, it's the solution, the key!
18. You'll never know the truth until you're willing to let your false conceptions and preconceived notions be destroyed.
19. Ours is the news that proves the Truth!--The World News that really counts!
20. Truth and beauty must go together. If it's not true it's not beautiful, if it's not beautiful it's not true!
21. That which is not founded on the firm foundation of Christ and the Bible has a reason to be frightened of the Truth!
22. God sometimes has to take away from you what you think is right before He can show you the truth!
23. We've got the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth!
24. We're here to preach the Word and the Truth, and if it's not the Word and it's not the Truth, we don't want it! Period!
25. The lies of man shall come to naught, but the Truth of God shall stand forever!
26. Truth is the God-given duty of every child of God and His prophets!
27. It is sometimes necessary to cut with the sword of God's Truth to remove the cancers of Evil!
28. Our truth and sample cannot be quenched by tyranny!
29. We've faced the facts, faced the fears, declared war on hypocrisy, war on their lies, war on their deceptions and delusions, and we are determined to destroy, to cast down and to uproot that which is false!
30. We have to tell the truth, but sometimes it's dangerous.
31. Just be sure it's the truth! Be sure you're right, then go ahead! God can defend His Own reputation!
32. You can never reject truth and leave a vacuum--it will be filled with lies!
33. Most men are in danger for lying, but we are in danger for telling the truth!
34. When you reject the Truth, then you have nothing left to believe but the lie!
35. The people who are honest and sincere and truthful and open-minded want to know the Truth, and God promises them that "he that hungereth and thirsteth after righteousness shall be filled"! (Mt.5:6)
36. It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.
37. Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.
38. The Lord's sheep are not going to believe the lies. The Holy Spirit will show them what's true and what isn't true. The Devil's people are going to believe the lies; the people who want to believe the lies are going to believe them.
39. Truth resisted loses its power over the mind.
40. He who speaks the Truth stabs falsehood in the heart.
41. When we hear from God, we know we've heard the Truth. When we hear from Heaven, we don't have to wonder if we're right or wrong.
42. It's a fight for liberty. What is liberty?--To know the Truth, this is liberty. "If ye continue in My words, then are ye My disciples indeed and ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free." (Jn.8.31,32) And the Devil never wants people to know the Truth, for the Truth makes you free, so it's a fight for freedom. The enemies always fight against the Truth and against Love because the Love of God and the Truth of His Word set you free. The Enemy likes to keep people under the bondage of darkness, but the more he fights the Truth, the more the Truth comes to light!
43. You are more dangerous than the oil war because you have exposed the truth and where the trouble is and what's causing it!
44. The Lord apparently doesn't like anything that's not the whole Truth, because a little deception and a little truth, a mixture of truth and lies, can be even more deceitful.
45. For Truth and Spring our God can bring
And happy you can be!
Take Jesus' joy right here and now
And live a life that's free!
