John 8:32John 8:32 Jesus says we can know the truth.Some say there is no truth.Some say we cannot know the truth.
Whom do we believe?
There are a number of New Testament passages that teach we can know the truth
(Ephesians 3:4; 5:17; 1 Timothy 3:15; 4:3; 1 John 2:21; 4:6).
Some passages may be difficult.2 Peter 3:16 says so.That doesn’t mean it is impossible to know.

Acts 20:27Acts 20:27 Some suggest…
. …we should “accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative.”
. …we should “connect more” with young people and the unchurched.
The Bible teaches the need to preach all of the truth (Acts 20:20).
All the truth must be preached to produce true faith.Faith comes from the word (Romans 10:17)
We must preach the word (2 Timothy 4:2-4)

Some are “shy” about confrontation.Paul says to be “… set for the defense of the gospel” (Philippians 1:16).
He also says to strive for the gospel (Philippians 1:27).
We must remember we are in a fight (1 Timothy 6:12).

Romans 12:1-2Romans 12:1-2 We live in the world and must
defend against its influence. Jesus warned against worldliness
(Matthew 13:22). John warned against worldliness
(1 John 2:15-17). Loving the world can be
disastrous (2 Timothy 4:10).
