Truth
Unknown
Russell Lowell was well within the mark when he said,
“Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the
throne, Yet that scaffold sways the future, And behind the dim
unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, Keeping watch over His
own.”
We live in a world where truth has no real definition, where
right is relative, where good wears a strange garment, and where
wrong is held out as beautiful. It’s a strange world indeed.
The world has no conscience in this age. Whatever one wants to
do, he can do it just so long as it doesn’t do too much damage
to someone else or—perish the thought—just so long as he
doesn’t get caught. What is advertised is pleasure, what is
aggrandized is joy, what is honored is popularity. It’s a
strange world, this one.

association or club of some kind. But none of these are what the
Bible means by the term "church."

religious connotation. It is used in Acts 19, for example, to
describe; an assembly in a city - a "town meeting." But
Jesus Christ invested the term with rich spiritual meaning when He
said, "I will build My church and the gates of Hades will not
overpower it" (Matthew 16:18).
