Summary
Truth is very underrated. We live in a culture where unfortunately truth is always up for grabs. Instead of absolute truths and core universal truths from God’s Word, truth tends to be more relative. The problem with this line of thinking is that we have made truth a moving target. When we do this, we become just like the churches John was writing to. We tend to get lost and led astray and instead of our lives being built on a firm foundation, they are built on sands that shift. Will you make a commitment today to build your life on Him? The world says this is close-minded, whereas God says it is the key to a fulfilled life.
