5 Resources Bible Studies THE EVER LOVING TRUTH LifeWay, 2004 Some people claim that truth doesn t exist, so they form beliefs according to their feelings, ambitions, or desires. Without absolute standards of right and wrong, people think they are free to act any way they want. And if you try to offer them a better way in Jesus Christ, they call you bigoted or intolerant. What do you do when people can t handle the truth? Voddie Baucham Jr. draws parallels between committed Christians in today s society and New Testament writers Peter and John as followers of Christ who proclaimed and stood for the truth in their non-christian environment.
