The Truth is compromised

“For I think you will agree that the prevailing tendency is not to talk about and write about the truth itself. The whole emphasis at the moment is that we should all be getting together and forming great organizations. The concern is not so much as to the truth of the message, but to gather ourselves together into one great community. The tendency today is to minimize truth in favor of organization, and men are telling us with unwearied iteration that the greatest tragedy of the world is the disunited church. But the tragedy, the greatest tragedy as I understand the New Testament, is not the disunity of the church, is not the fact that the church is divided into groups and denominations, is not that we are not all in one organization, but that all the sections are preaching a false message and that there has been a departure from the truth of God as it is in Jesus Christ.”

–Martin Lloyd-Jones

And so it was

And so it was, the Law of Land was set.

People chose to obey, or chose not to.

Those who would not obey sent

corruption to all the four

corners of the earth.

Those who chose to obey fell to

their knees in shame.

It was clear then that a sacrifice

had to be made.

This sacrifice could not be found in man.

He knew that he had to take

the sins of man upon Himself.

The perfect plan was about to commence.

It would last through all

eternity and put an end to the

evil that decayed the planet.

The Creator Himself would shed

His blood for those who

declared His Name Above all else.

So, with a whisper that would

ring throughout the ages

came the Words…

“IT IS FINISHED”

And so it was
