Hey Alexa, what is truth?
According to Wikipedia, truth is the property of being in accord with fact or reality. In everyday language, truth is typically ascribed to things that aim to represent reality or otherwise correspond to it, such as beliefs, propositions, and declarative sentences.
“My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives.”
John Piper
What is the source of your truth?
Jesus is Truth Revealed through…
