00:00:04,620 --> 00:00:10,240
Greetings, this is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,960
with a moment of truth where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and

3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:24,140
faith. Today, when you emerge from the cult of the lie, like we talked about last week,

4
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:30,780
when you emerge from the cult of the lie, you discover that the truth has set you free.

5
00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:37,179
See, last week we looked closely at what it means to be a captive of the cult of the lie.

6
00:00:37,359 --> 00:00:42,979
Today, we want to see what it takes to become a member of the family of the truth.

7
00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:52,700
Not the cult of the lie, but the family of the truth. Now, there is a way out of the endless

8
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:59,780
gerbil wheel of state lies and narratives. And we observed that from the beginning,

9
00:00:59,780 --> 00:01:07,799
socialism requires belief in the big lie. That is, we speak truth. That's the big lie

10
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:14,659
of socialism. We speak truth. How do I know it's true? Well, the government told me on CNN,

11
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:21,400
all other lies of the deep state are corollaries of this big lie, and they depend upon your

12
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:27,219
unquestioning assumption of it. What we say is true, says the state, and you better believe it.

13
00:01:27,219 --> 00:01:34,599
As George Orwell puts it in the mouths of one of his characters in 1984, he says,

14
00:01:34,939 --> 00:01:40,359
the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final,

15
00:01:40,739 --> 00:01:50,260
most essential command, unquote. All other lies, dear listener, depend upon you obeying this command.

16
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:56,340
Reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. Oh, the government has your best interest at heart.

17
00:01:56,340 --> 00:02:02,219
Not the acquisition of power. That's a lie. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you

18
00:02:02,219 --> 00:02:09,180
like your plan, you can keep your plan. We remember that. That was a lie. Or the vaccines are safe and

19
00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:18,479
effective. And we've seen the lie of that transpire over the last year or two. Or it is insurrection

20
00:02:18,479 --> 00:02:25,819
to question the results of the 2020 election. Without the big lie underlying these narratives

21
00:02:25,819 --> 00:02:32,020
from the deep state, that is, we speak truth. None of these would be believed by the American

22
00:02:32,020 --> 00:02:39,199
people. But we also saw that our own human leanings make us susceptible to the lies of the state,

23
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:47,539
that is, to propaganda. For example, fear makes us susceptible to propaganda, doesn't it? Fear makes

24
00:02:47,539 --> 00:02:56,520
and the deep state uses our fears to get their way, to aggrandize their power. Or hatred and prejudice

25
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:05,000
also makes us susceptible to propaganda. The fear of the other, the hatred, the prejudice against the

26
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:12,639
other. Or thirdly, unquestioned submission to authority makes us susceptible to propaganda,

27
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:19,500
doesn't it? Number four was the inability or unwillingness to acquire independent information

28
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:27,500
for oneself. This makes us susceptible to propaganda. Or number five, finally, our tendency to form

29
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:36,060
ourselves into insular tribes makes us susceptible to propaganda. We covered all these in detail. And I

30
00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:50,580
refer you to that broadcast. You'll find it on our website, omnisprotestas.org. O-M-N-I-S dash P-O-T-E-S-T-A-S dot

31
00:03:50,580 --> 00:04:02,639
org. Omnisprotestas.org. So today, I want to address this. How can we overcome these susceptibilities? How can

32
00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:10,259
we pierce through hypnotizing narratives which are created to aggrandize the deep state's power while

33
00:04:10,259 --> 00:04:18,019
weakening we, the people? How can we emerge from the cult of the lie and come into the family of the

34
00:04:18,019 --> 00:04:27,279
truth? Well, we invoke Jesus' words in this case. We invoke Jesus' words, if you abide in my word, you are

35
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:35,060
truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Jesus says this in John

36
00:04:35,060 --> 00:04:43,120
chapter 8. So, when or if you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the

37
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:50,220
truth will set you free. What does Jesus mean by these things? First of all, he says, if you abide in my word. The

38
00:04:50,220 --> 00:04:57,259
word, per se, was not some physical bubble in which the disciple safely abode. No, shielded from the world around

39
00:04:57,259 --> 00:05:06,639
him. No, Jesus' word was that body of truth that he has consistently expressed to them in his preaching

40
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:12,899
and teaching since the onset of his public ministry. John has been clear that this is the essence and

41
00:05:12,899 --> 00:05:19,199
nature of Christ's ministry from the very beginning. John begins with this, in the beginning was the word,

42
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:27,000
and the word was with God, and the word was God. Therefore, if you continue to live in Jesus' teaching,

43
00:05:27,259 --> 00:05:34,839
such that you live in Jesus' person himself, you are a true disciple. Ah, that's the idea of abiding

44
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:43,639
in his word. The word of life leads inevitably to life in the word. That is, Jesus' person himself.

45
00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:52,720
The true disciple will so desire to live in, dwell within Jesus, that he immediately flags himself as a

46
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:59,600
particular kind of thing. That is, a disciple who abides in his word. And three consequences follow

47
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,680
if you abide in his word. First of all, you know that you are a true disciple. You know that you are

48
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:13,339
a true disciple. Life in Jesus as the word is a banner indication that such a one is a true, that is a

49
00:06:13,339 --> 00:06:22,000
bona fide disciple. In a world of false disciples, counterfeit apostles, it is necessary to have an

50
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:29,620
infallible test. And this test is endorsed by Jesus himself. He says, abiding, which is a Greek word

51
00:06:29,620 --> 00:06:37,939
that means remaining in, dwelling in, living as a permanent resident within. Abiding in my word,

52
00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:45,600
Jesus says. The true disciple by nature shares the life of his master by abiding in him. And that life

53
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:53,300
is communicated by means of the word. That is, the life, teaching, and very person of Jesus. Well,

54
00:06:53,500 --> 00:07:00,319
if that is the case, then Jesus says, then you will know the truth. So important. Here is the first

55
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:07,980
and necessary step for coming out of the cult of lies. You must know the truth. If you are in Jesus,

56
00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:14,459
you will know the truth. There are a number of kinds of truth. There are mathematical, scientific,

57
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:22,939
historical truths. All of these have their place. But the realm of truth Jesus has in mind is eternally

58
00:07:22,939 --> 00:07:41,000
abiding. Truth is that reality that God has created, determined, and revealed. So, fallen man asserts

59
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,120
competing truths. Oh, they vie in the hearts and minds of other fallen men. But leave these behind,

60
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,920
dear listener. Blind eyes don't see, deaf ears do not hear. You, however, have been given spiritual

61
00:07:52,920 --> 00:08:01,060
life in your Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. And now you possess the spiritual faculties to see and hear

62
00:08:01,060 --> 00:08:08,959
and know the truth. It is important to know the truth. For example, just one example, a salvation

63
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:16,199
example. It is important to know the truth that we were once sinless creatures in our first father, Adam,

64
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:24,339
but now stand in Adam as guilty and condemned sinners. That truth is important to know. Apart

65
00:08:24,339 --> 00:08:31,540
from Christ, we are condemned sinners. But correspondingly, it is also important to know

66
00:08:31,540 --> 00:08:38,139
the truth that Jesus stood in our place as a condemned, guilty sinner, and he endured the punishment

67
00:08:38,139 --> 00:08:46,399
for it so that we might once again stand as sinless creatures in him before God the Father. Truths,

68
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:55,419
truths that save, dear listener, knowledge of and faith in this Christ, the one who has made it so,

69
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:02,940
is utterly requisite for this last stage, which is, then the truth will set you free. Jesus says,

70
00:09:02,940 --> 00:09:10,220
know the truth and the truth will set you free. True liberty. How the world loves to use this

71
00:09:10,220 --> 00:09:16,480
cliche, right? Know the truth and the truth will set you free. It's passed into our lexicon as a kind

72
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,860
of in-your-face challenge that is to accept whatever it is I assert to be true. That's how the world

73
00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:29,100
abuses this phrase. For example, it abuses it by saying things like, well, science has proven that

74
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:34,340
there's a gay gene in our chromosomes, so deal with it. Know the truth and the truth will set you free,

75
00:09:34,460 --> 00:09:41,039
or something like this. Science has proven that man-caused global warming is true, Mr. Denier.

76
00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:46,840
Know the truth and the truth will set you free. A kind of in-the-face assertion, isn't it? Well,

77
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:55,779
how many who so glibly use this cliche know who even says it, right? A recent Harris poll indicated

78
00:09:55,779 --> 00:10:02,059
that 7 out of 10 people don't even know who preached the Sermon on the Mount. Of those who

79
00:10:02,059 --> 00:10:08,860
do even, of those who do know this phrase that was said by Jesus, how many really know the context in

80
00:10:08,860 --> 00:10:15,960
which Jesus says it? Just because you use the words of Jesus as an appendage to your assertions

81
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:23,460
doesn't make them true. We must say that the liberty of which Jesus speaks is the first liberty,

82
00:10:23,460 --> 00:10:29,919
that is spiritual life in him. Without this, all other liberties are trivial and meaningless.

83
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:38,480
The true first liberty is spiritual liberty, spiritual life in Christ. He is the personification,

84
00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:45,720
the embodiment, the very body of truth into whom you are engrafted when you believe in him.

85
00:10:46,019 --> 00:10:53,179
When you come to truth in Christianity, you do not come merely and only to a set of intellectual

86
00:10:53,179 --> 00:10:59,179
principles by which to live. No, no, no. When you come to truth, and this is what we are seeking,

87
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:05,940
right? We are seeking to enter the family of truth in opposition to the cult of lies. So when you come

88
00:11:05,940 --> 00:11:12,159
to truth in Christianity, you come into a family of truth. You don't come to relative progressive

89
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:19,299
thoughts and feelings that shift and change depending upon the evolving consensus of humanity.

90
00:11:19,299 --> 00:11:28,620
No, no, no. When you come to truth in Christ, you come to a person. You come to life in the person of

91
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:37,639
Christ who is in himself both objective and subjective truth. Jesus says, I am the way, the truth, and the

92
00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:45,740
life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Oh, know this and live, dear listener. Embrace this truth.

93
00:11:45,740 --> 00:11:52,320
Come to Christ in faith, and you too will come to life. You will know the truth, and that truth will set

94
00:11:52,320 --> 00:12:01,519
you free, free in your heart, mind, and spirit. Yes, truth with a capital T, truth. Abide in Christ and

95
00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:10,000
you will know the truth. This is the first big truth that is life in Christ. The first big truth

96
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:19,480
contrasting with a big lie. Faith in Christ will bring you spiritual life, life that is eternal in

97
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:25,879
nature. The Apostle Paul says, God made you alive together with him, having forgiven you all your

98
00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:33,059
trespasses. Yes, you have life in Christ now. God made you alive together with him, as the Apostle Paul

99
00:12:33,059 --> 00:12:41,799
says. When this happens, Christ becomes your life and your truth, too. John says, or our Lord says in

100
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:49,779
the Gospel of John, he says about himself, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the

101
00:12:49,779 --> 00:12:59,059
Father except through me. Oh, yes. The search for truth, dear listener, begins in Christ and thereafter

102
00:12:59,059 --> 00:13:07,179
becomes your compass point, your spiritual true north for all other truths. This is the first big

103
00:13:07,179 --> 00:13:15,080
truth that is life in Christ. When you come alive in Christ, then you take that first giant step

104
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:22,179
towards discovering truth in all of his creation. It is indeed Christ who has created the earth,

105
00:13:22,179 --> 00:13:28,840
all that we see around him, and he has also created the life of man. He has also created the

106
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:36,480
world of man and the culture of man and the mind of man. It is in this world in particular that we need

107
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:46,399
an unerring compass point of truth, a true north of truth in terms of discerning and seeing into

108
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:54,700
human nature and discovering the truths of man as he relates to fellow man as well as to God. The search

109
00:13:54,700 --> 00:14:03,559
for truth then begins but doesn't end in Christ. The truth begins in Christ and thereafter radiates

110
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:10,320
outward into Christ's creation. And we discover truth, true truth, as one philosopher puts it. We

111
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:18,519
discover true truth in his creation after first coming to him in truth. And the first big truth,

112
00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:27,179
that is life in Christ, stands in opposition to the big lie. The big truth stands in opposition to the

113
00:14:27,179 --> 00:14:35,679
big lie. And that big lie, of course, is we speak truth. That's the state saying we speak truth. And no

114
00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:42,659
one is better equipped to discover the true from the false than the Christian. I submit to you, dear

115
00:14:42,659 --> 00:14:48,960
listener. This is one reason the father of lies, as Jesus called the devil. This is why the father of

116
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:57,620
lies so hates Christians. Because we, because Christians possess the first big truth, that is

117
00:14:57,620 --> 00:15:05,720
life in Christ. We are better able to discern spiritual lies, spiritual counterfeits. We are better

118
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:13,200
able to sort out the true from the false, although not always infallibly, I must say, and not always in

119
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:21,259
fullness. And I'll treat of this here in greater detail presently. Christians are less liable, for

120
00:15:21,259 --> 00:15:29,379
example, to fall prey to the susceptibilities of propaganda. This is why I urge you to first and

121
00:15:29,379 --> 00:15:38,559
foremost find truth in Christ. Because when we do, we are less liable to fall prey to the susceptibilities

122
00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:45,740
of propaganda. Now, we reviewed these for you briefly, didn't we? First of all, Christians have

123
00:15:45,740 --> 00:15:53,980
less reason for fear, for example. Christians have less reason to fear. We trust in the love of God.

124
00:15:53,980 --> 00:16:00,399
And as we do, as we trust in His love and we begin to live in it, we begin to see it confirmed in our

125
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:06,399
lives time and time again, we begin to exercise that love in our own lives too, amongst others,

126
00:16:06,620 --> 00:16:12,460
amongst our brothers and sisters, and amongst those in the world. And we know that this love of God

127
00:16:12,460 --> 00:16:20,519
will keep us through all tests and trials such that we do not have to fear. The apostle John says,

128
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:30,000
there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. Isn't that beautiful? Perfect love casts out

129
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:37,139
fear. We have less reason to fear as Christians. And consequently, we are less prone to manipulation

130
00:16:37,139 --> 00:16:45,480
by state propaganda as they prey upon our fears. And make no mistake about this, the

131
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:55,440
make no mistake about this, the state knows that fear is one of our weaknesses. Lock up, mask up,

132
00:16:55,539 --> 00:17:02,100
and vax up, for example, lest you die. That was one of the fears that was preyed upon us, wasn't it,

133
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:11,079
during the response to COVID? Well, secondly, we also know that we have less reason to hate when we

134
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:18,799
are in Christ. When we know the truth in Christ, we have less reason to hate. Since we are so loved

135
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:25,460
by God, we have less reason to hate. Love your enemies, our Lord tells us. Do good to those who

136
00:17:25,460 --> 00:17:33,480
hate you. So this tried and true lever of hate and prejudice, this tried and true lever that the state

137
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:40,019
always pulls, doesn't it? Prejudice and hate. This tried and true lever is further removed in the

138
00:17:40,019 --> 00:17:45,759
believer when he comes to truth in Christ. The apostle Paul exhorts Christians. He says,

139
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:55,039
do nothing from partiality and prejudice. Propaganda is thus less effective with the man who does not

140
00:17:55,039 --> 00:18:01,640
hate. Isn't it? Propaganda is less effective with the man who does not hate. And the Christian is less

141
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:09,099
likely to hate because he indeed is loved by God. For example, we are less liable to the propaganda

142
00:18:09,099 --> 00:18:18,240
this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Yes, you are being taught to hate when indeed you come into

143
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:25,339
the realm of the hatred, the prejudice against the unvaccinated. And then number three, two, we have

144
00:18:25,339 --> 00:18:34,440
less reason to automatically bow to authority. When we come to truth in Christ, we have less reason

145
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:42,700
to automatically bow to authority. We Christians have come under a different master than the state.

146
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:49,480
We have come under the true king, that is King Jesus. Jesus himself said, all authority in heaven

147
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:56,119
and earth has been given to me. This is the authority to whom we bow, to Jesus, to whom all

148
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:02,700
authority in heaven and earth has been given, right? In fact, as Jesus tells the earthly ruler,

149
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:09,640
Pontius Pilate, who thought that he had power over Jesus, Jesus told him, you would have no authority

150
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:18,980
over me at all unless it had been given you from above. This borrowed authority of the state is far

151
00:19:18,980 --> 00:19:26,059
less impressive to the believer when that believer knows the very one from whom that derived authority

152
00:19:26,059 --> 00:19:34,000
comes. After all, the authority of the state is but a derived authority from God himself. And so,

153
00:19:34,220 --> 00:19:40,940
we believers have less reason to automatically bow to that derived authority. And then fourthly,

154
00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:50,759
we believers have more motivation and more ability to seek out the truth. Remember, we have discovered that

155
00:19:50,759 --> 00:19:59,319
in those who are susceptible to propaganda, that those susceptible have less motivation and less

156
00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:06,059
ability as well to seek out the truth from other reliable sources. All they do is listen to the state.

157
00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:14,599
Not so. We who are more motivated and able to seek out the truth and seek it out from other sources.

158
00:20:14,599 --> 00:20:26,099
Our Lord exhorts us regarding eternal things. He says, ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you

159
00:20:26,099 --> 00:20:35,259
will find. Knock and it will be open to you, right? That impulse to ask and seek and knock over eternal

160
00:20:35,259 --> 00:20:43,660
things, I find as well. Personally, I find that it carries over into all of living in many Christians,

161
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:52,640
not all Christians, but in many Christians. So, state propaganda thus has less propensity to work

162
00:20:52,640 --> 00:21:00,279
on the man who has sought out the truth in other sources. And then we discover as well,

163
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:09,960
in the life of the believer, we are less likely to be bound by earthly tribal identities. Less likely to

164
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:18,559
be bound by earthly tribal identities. We talked about this briefly too, didn't we? The Christian has a new

165
00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:26,380
identity in Christ now that transcends all other identities. In Christ, the Apostle Paul says,

166
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:33,579
in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek. There is neither slave nor free. There is no male and female,

167
00:21:33,579 --> 00:21:42,660
for you are all one in Christ Jesus. This is my new identity. This is the new identity of every Christian.

168
00:21:43,059 --> 00:21:51,339
He is now in Christ. And he is therefore not bound by other categories like race, like Jew or Greek,

169
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:58,400
as Paul says, or slave or free, even male or female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

170
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:07,380
This is my new identity. And consequently, the attempts by state propaganda to isolate me by race

171
00:22:07,380 --> 00:22:16,380
or gender or party, and then turn around and aggravate those differences, this state propaganda is far

172
00:22:16,380 --> 00:22:25,460
less likely to work on me or to work on you if you indeed have found the truth in Christ. For example,

173
00:22:25,460 --> 00:22:36,359
the epithet racist, oh, racist is less likely to stick on me or any other person unjustly labeled by the

174
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:45,180
state as such, if indeed I dwell in the truth of Christ, because I know who I am. I know that I am

175
00:22:45,180 --> 00:22:54,480
not primarily a tribal person isolated by my race or gender or party. No, indeed, I am in Christ. I am not

176
00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:01,559
bound by earthly tribal identities. For in Christ, as Paul says, there is neither Jew nor Greek,

177
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:12,200
slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Let me underline for you,

178
00:23:12,259 --> 00:23:21,079
however, here as well, underline the caveat that the Christian, though less likely to fall prey to

179
00:23:21,079 --> 00:23:28,240
these susceptibilities because he knows the true one. Oh, indeed, he is less likely to fall prey to

180
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:37,099
susceptibilities. But nevertheless, he can succumb to these weaknesses and come under the persuasive sway

181
00:23:37,099 --> 00:23:43,359
of state propaganda. That still happens. I see it happen in the lives of Christians too,

182
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:52,460
but not nearly so much. In fact, we have the foundational groundwork to discover truth on a more consistent

183
00:23:52,460 --> 00:24:01,920
basis because we find ourselves in the truth that is in Christ Jesus himself. He said, I am the way, the truth,

184
00:24:02,140 --> 00:24:10,000
and the life. But nevertheless, Christians can be deceived. We are still straddling these two worlds,

185
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,519
between heaven and earth, and we fall prey to weaknesses from time to time. It happens.

186
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:22,500
We are still weak and fallible creatures. In fact, I know Christians who have succumbed to these

187
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:30,119
five susceptibilities I've outlined for you, and they have turned into what I call naive brainwashed

188
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:38,880
Pollyannas. Not a very flattering term, but a true term which describes them, naive brainwashed Pollyannas.

189
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:47,480
Now, to them, I am a conspiracy theorist. In fact, you may have thought that underneath your breath

190
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:55,259
listening to this broadcast. But indeed, if I am a conspiracy theorist, then you are a naive brainwashed

191
00:24:55,259 --> 00:25:05,259
Pollyanna. Because to me, such ones have chosen to believe whatever is spoon-fed to them because it

192
00:25:05,259 --> 00:25:12,519
feeds one or more of these deadly appetites aforementioned. The key, dear listener, is to know

193
00:25:12,519 --> 00:25:21,039
the beginning, middle, and end of truth, and that is Christ, who said, I am the way, the truth, and the

194
00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:30,079
life. Dear listener, it is Christ who is the truth, and by him you will emerge from the cult of lies

195
00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:39,900
and into the broad daylight of the family of truth. Come and know Christ today, and come to the truth,

196
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:47,519
and that truth indeed will set you free. This has been Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox
