We're

We love to We live in a world where some try to define reality, morality, even history, by their own perspective, rather than by any sense of absolute truth.

Today on Truth for Life, Alistair Begg examines contemporary thinking and teaches us how

Christians are to respond to the popular notion that truth is relative.

Thank you very much. It's a privilege to be here and to address you this evening. I'm taking as my text just one verse from Isaiah chapter 59 and verse 14, which reads as follows, justice is turned back and righteousness stands far away, for truth has stumbled
