"THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH"
(Psalm 119:25-32)
(Ps.119:30-"I have chosen the way of TRUTH, thy judgments have I laid before me.")

*The words "true" or "truth" appear in the bible 360 times.
Satan's idea of deception didn't stop in the Garden of Eden.... he’s still running around out there telling lies; and people believe them!!!  (2 Corin. 2:11-"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.")...(1 Peter 5:8-"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.")   His objective is to harden the unbelief of people who aren't Christians, and to turn honest seekers away from Christianity...(Remember Jim Jones in 1978 when 900 followers committed suicide?/ or the Heavens Gate cult who thought the hale-bopp comet was Elijah’s flaming chariot to heaven?/ or the "DeVinci Code" which is a book selling millions...and saying that Jesus was just an ordinary man who married Mary Magdalene, and never died on a cross!/ One EXPERT claimed to find the body of Jesus a few years ago and compared it with the shroud of Turin!)   Have you ever as a believer become confused and disillusioned because you saw a bible documentary on TV, or heard some so called "prophet" on the radio...or maybe you read some book that seemed to contradict everything you've been taught all your life?  (Matt.24:4-Jesus said, Take heed that no man deceive you.")---(Col.2:8-"Beware, lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.")---(1 Tim.4:1-"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.")---(Gal.5:7-"Ye did run well, who did hinder you that ye should not obey the TRUTH?")   You'd better watch people who try to convert you over to another bible that a natural man can easily understand!  
 (Eph. 4:14-"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.")

*I feel that I am a very open-minded person...but I remember what Paul said...(Heb. 2:1-"we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.")
(1)-WHO IS THE TRUTH? --(Jesus answered this!)
(John 14:6-"I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life...")
*To understand the "guidelines of truth", just look at Jesus!
(a)...LOVED THE UNLOVABLE!-(the TRUTH states that "God is love"!)
(1 Corin.13:6-"(Love) rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the TRUTH.")
(b)...HATED HYPOCRISY!---------(the TRUTH is not two-sided!)(The Temple)
(c)...REVEALED ONLY THE FACTS!-(John 14 about "mansions"..."If it were not so I would have told you".....Satan says that God is holding out on us!)
(2)-WHAT IS TRUTH?-(Pilate asked this!)
Websters defines "truth" (noun-person/place/thing)-"accuracy, actuality, certainty, fact, precision, rightness, validity, authenticity, realism, frankness, integrity."
If people want to know the truth....it can be found!  The pews are empty cause people know we speak the truth...and they do not want to accept it!  (Gal.4:16-"Paul said, Am I therefore your enemy, because I tell you the TRUTH?")-(John 8:32-"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.")

(Deut. 32:4-"He is the Rock.....a God of TRUTH and without iniquity, just and right is he.")
(3)-WHERE IS THE TRUTH?-(a world of empty promises/politicians!)-(hold up bible!)-(Heb.13:8-"Jesus Christ, the SAME...")
(2 Tim.3:16-"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine...")
Colleges and Universities are referred to as "schools of higher learning"; yet often when it comes to eternal issues they miss the TRUTH!  (2 Tim. 3:7-"Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the TRUTH.")
(2 Thess.2:12-"That they all might be DAMNED who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.")...(1 Tim.2:4-"(our savior) will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledger of the TRUTH.")

(4)-WHY IS THERE TRUTH?--(To counteract the LIE!..."His TRUTH is marching on"!!!)
(1 Tim. 4:16-"Take heed to thyself, and unto the doctrine; CONTINUE IN THEM: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.")   *If Satan can change what you think, he can change what you say to others!
The TRUTH is........
			YOU ARE LOST if you have never believed the TRUTH
			HELL can be shunned!
			HEAVEN can be gained!
			JESUS is alive and well!
			YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN!
