bymonline.org | November 2018 everyone saved, and get to know the truth (1 Tim 2:3). Let us send a powerful message to a country reeling under a spate of dishonest dealings. It may not be a globe-trotting ministry but a quiet one-to-one sharing. In the Last Days people will not put up with sound doctrine and turn their ears away from the truth. This being so, what do we, the faithful ones do? After warning Timothy about the last days, in the same breath Paul commands him, “But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry” (2 Tim 4:3-5). About Levi we read, “The law of truth was in his mouth, and injustice was not found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace and equity, and turned many away from iniquity” (Mal 2:6, NKJV). Malachi continues to lament that it is the priests' job to teach the truth to people, since they would look to them for guidance. But they misled many by their wrong teaching (vv 7,8). James writes, “My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins” (Js 5:19). The Church of the Living God is known as the “Pillar and foundation of the truth” (1 Tim 3:15). Each soul plucked out from Satan's hands goes to build the Church. Valiant for the Truth: Let us be valiant for the truth (Jer 9:3, NKJV). “Those who stand for nothing fall for anything,” said Alexander Hamilton, Statesman and one of the Founding Fathers of the US. Let us straighten our backs, face the enemy and stand tall for truth. We are the guardians of our country's soul. Let us embark on a rigorous fight for truth. If we are determined, the odds are in our favour. “Your dream is not that which you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let us sleep,” quipped our former and late President Abdul Kalam. Let us dream of the day when truth will be picked up from the street and restored to its rightful place! page 6
