"We see, in many a land, the proudest dynasties and tyrannies still crushing, with their mountain weight, every free motion of the Consciences and hearts of men. We see, on the other hand, the truest heroism for the right and the greatest devotion to the Truth in hearts that God has touched. We have a work to do, as great as our forefathers and, perhaps, far greater. The enemies of Truth are more numerous and subtle than ever and the needs of the Church are greater than at any preceding time. If we are not debtors to the present, then men were never debtors to their age and their time. Brethren, we are debtors to the hour in which we live. Oh, that we might stamp it with Truth and that God might help us to impress upon its wings some proof that it has not flown by neglected and unheeded." -- C.H. Spurgeon . . . "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31, 32 . . . . .

DEMISE OF A CIVILIZATION: The Death of Truth and Justice

Revised and Updated from The RED PILL Consortium article.
You can listen to the teaching of this article from the SHINE BRIGHT Church YouTube Channel here.

PROVERBS 23:23
Buy the truth, and do not sell it, also wisdom and instruction and understanding.

When you buy something, you’re investing with your dollars the item you want or need. If someone tells you a story and you say, “I don’t buy it” –you’re not investing any credibility to that story.
To “buy truth” in this verse is to invest in the truth – to learn of it, esteem it as precious, depend on it, obey it, make it a part of our lives and not “sell[ing] it” that is, not abandoning it.
Every human being is a steward: a keeper and user of those things GOD has given to us all: a life, a mind, a conscience, time on this Earth, a certain degree of responsibility and power, our relationships. Truth is also among these gifts; so is freedom. GOD is watching to see if we’re taking our stewardship seriously. We’ll be called into account for our stewardship by GOD.


We Christians on top of what was already mentioned have been given His Holy Revelation, His Holy Spirit, New Life in Christ, His Great Commission of the Gospel, we’ve received ambassadorship: we’re His representatives! We also will be called into account at the Bema Seat for rewards.

A TTUF EXAMINATION OF HEAVEN – PART THREE: The Second Heaven

Space: the Final Frontier…” were the epic words that started a legacy known as Star Trek and has had as much impact on the cultures of the world as that other famous line, “In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit” that brought us to the world of Middle Earth.

And as vast as our galaxy is, to say nothing of the universe itself, we must ponder the question, “Is it really the final frontier?” Once this entire creation and known reality is swept away, GOD is going to create a new heavens and a new earth (REV 21; ISA 66:22)! Think of the excitement we will have in exploring these heretofore unknown frontiers!

But even if one discounts all of that - there is the limitless exploration and discoveries of the mysteries of GOD! You see, what we know of GOD is limited to the inspired canon. That’s not to say that the Holy Scriptures in conjunction with the Holy Spirit doesn’t provide us an astounding amount of revelation about our Creator and Redeemer, it’s simply as the acronym suggests: B.I.B.L.E. Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

We have all the basics that we need to live godly in Christ Jesus (2 PET 1:3-4); we’re blessed with plenty of knowledge to enjoy a full and rich relationship with the LORD. But once we enter into eternity with glorified bodies and minds, the LORD will be able for the first time, to reveal His nature and all of the Truth that’s personified in His Person with no limitations on our part to grasp it all.

That being said, since He is eternal in His nature, the wealth of knowledge available to us One Day as glorified saints will also be eternal. In other words, we won’t ever stop learning of our glorious GOD. We will be continuously afforded more and more Truth that will in no way contradict the canon of Scripture we have now but will expand upon and exemplify the Holy Scripture with deeper, more profound Truth.
