There are so many people in the church today that believe that the Truth of God's Word is not enough to bring people into repentance. Some believe that we have to exhibit some kind of miraculous signs and wonders in order to convince the unbelievers of the Truth in the Word. Others try to dress it up in a way that makes it culturally relevant or “seeker sensitive”. Many believe that without some or other gimmick, the message of the Gospel will not reach its target. The church is desperately trying to find new ways of offering what the non-believers say they are looking for in the church. Every conventional form of worship is at risk of being put aside for more “relevant” forms in order to cater for the worlds appetites. Things that challenge or make people uncomfortable is not permitted. And it seems to be working. Or is it?

Welcome
The question of Pontius Pilate to Jesus, “What is truth?”, is still doing its rounds today. In fact, now more than ever, the issue of truth has been mishandled more than in any other generation. For us as Christians, the truth is what is proclaimed in the Bible. Everyone who is a Christian needs to know and understand the truth that it contains, as it effects the way each of us lives our lives. From the way we interact with family and friends, to the way we operate at work. The way we worship, and more especially what comes out of our mouths as we teach and tell others of Christ.
It is my hope that through this blog, we will together learn to know the Truth and to apply it into our daily lives.
Purpose: The purpose of this blog is to discuss the many issues that are affecting the church today that is causing it to hide the truth. There are both internal and external forces at work here. Things that to some seem to be nothing to worry about, but are in actual fact damaging the witness of the church. Here we will deal with issues like the professional church, politics in church, true discipleship, does God still speak to us today, etc
Baruch atem b’Shem Yeshua! (Blessings in the name of Jesus!)
