What Is Truth?

We have begun our new teaching series at Lawson Baptist, "Questions in the Key of Life." Last week we tackled the question, "Does God Exist?" This week we approach the question, "What Is Truth?"
While considering how to approach to the message, I couldn't help but think of the old Johnny Cash song, What Is Truth? The last verse of that song is very sobering:
The young man speaking in the city square
is trying to tell somebody that he cares
Yeah, the ones that you're calling wild
are going to be the leaders in a little while
This old world's wakin' to a new born day
and I solemnly swear that it'll be their way
You better help the voice of youth find
"What is truth."
Cash wrote that song several years ago and the youth he was writing about then have matured and thousands of them are currently involved in careers that affect us all. Some are in the business world, some are teaching our children and still others are dictating policy that we all have to live by.
Here's the kicker...our youth today will someday soon be taking their place in this world. It is extremely important that we teach them now what truth is. Truth is not found in a man-made philosophy or a scientific theory. It is not even found in religion. Real truth is found in the person of Jesus Christ.
If we are to believe recent statistics, more and more people are questioning or even outright denying the diety of Jesus. Our young people are following the leads of those closest to them and often that is Mom or Dad. Yet Mom and Dad don't see the neccessity of raising their children in the church.
It's been said the whoever wants the next generation the most will get them. How badly do we want them grounded in the Word of God?

Questions, Questions

Human beings long for a conversation with God. There are so many questions that we want answers to. That is why so many people anxiously read their horoscopes in the daily newspaper. Thousands of others frequently consult palm readers and other psychic avenues.
Honestly, if you could ask God one question, what would it be? Would you ask Him a deep, personal question or would you use it to ask something that would benefit you down the road?

The truth of the matter is that we can come to God at anytime and ask Him anything. In our spiritual walk, so many questions come to mind. In the coming weeks at Lawson Baptist Church, we will be looking at some questions that man has asked God since creation. Here is a list of the questions we will be considering in this new series:

1. Does God exist?
2. What is truth?
3. Who am I?
4. Why am I here?
5. What happens when I die?
6. Are all religions equal?

These are some very penetrating questions. We will see how God answers them in His Holy Word.

Here's a question for you right now. Why not come to LBC in the coming weeks and lets consider these questions together.
