A theme in our message presented and received today,

"Truth is on Life Support" in today's world.

I'm hoping to be able to do this topic justice, but I am also interested in seeing others tackle this theme.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I must say, I'm having trouble myself. I don't want to just do a recap of the message. I want to encapsulate His truth without just echoing Pastor's words.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

If it was a poem you were looking for VAS, this is my contribution:

There are those who walk in faithful gait
Knowing the promises of God
They are few among the masses
Traveling the long and narrow road

That Truth is said to be on the wane
Is to them an encouraging sign
The prophets spoke of just such things
In for them a future time

That time has arrived in this generation
Which proves God's Truth will prevail
Keys of the Kingdom unlock Daniel's secrets
Christ's Revelation is near

So remember to watch and pray for the day
Truth rides a proud white steed
And you shall know the Truth my friends
And the Truth shall set you free

(Last two lines based on the book of John, chapter 8, verse 32)

Here are my feelings about truth:
These Times

The Truth is
as it always has been
and always will be,
silently screaming.

The Truth is;
we have always been,
and always will be,
desperately believing.

What we believe
we call truth
because it is our reality.
It is all we know.

What we call facts
are often times Truths.
But facts have a way of changing.
The Truth always remains the same.

Truth is ageless and timeless,
unchanged by discoveries, perspectives and bias.
Truth changes our perspectives and bias
with its revelation within us.

We do not so much learn the truth
as we, instead, come to recognize it.
Truth changes us by our discovery of it.
One truth leads to another.

Truth in its entirety is incomprehensible.
It is too much to conceive all of its implications.
We trust in Truth, if nothing else.
We hold on to Truth with faith.
