Have you ever heard one of those people who in trying to avoid the immutable truths of the Word of God, say things like, “There is no truth“, or “Truth is not absolute“, “Truth cannot be known“, or the sort. It is actually one of the most stupid and self-contradictory things I have ever heard.

Finding the Right Church; Led by the Spirit

“If you wait for a perfect church, you must wait until you get to Heaven; and even if you could find a perfect assembly on earth, I am sure they would not admit you to their fellowship, for you are not perfect yourself. Find out those people who are nearest to Scriptures, who hold the
