May 17, 2009: Living the Truth – Michael Hidalgo

There are significant questions being asked in our world today about “absolute truth.” Some would say that there is no absolute truth – to which others ask, “Can I believe this absolutely?” What is interesting is that Paul moves toward the idea of truth in a unique way that speaks volumes toward a truth-starved world. In response to “fine sounding arguments” Paul’s hope is that the church would “they may be encouraged in heart and united in love.” This is so they would gain understanding. He does not want them to learn counter fine sounding arguments – he simply wants them to live out the truth, which in many ways calls for a deeper understanding.
