Anabaptist Council For Truth

What is truth?

Is there a universal truth
or is it different for different people?

Our desire is that these resources will point you to the Way, help you know Truth and how it is applied in life.

truth

  1. the true or actual state of a matter
  2. conformity with fact or reality; verity

What God established is the reality that exists, whether we accept it or not. God revealed this reality through His Word, Jesus Christ, who said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.

    Why the Bible Needs to be in the Common Language

    God the creator calls mankind to follow Him. He transcends the creator-creature gap by speaking to His people through prophets, apostles, and His son. This means God wants to be heard and obeyed. Since God’s words are his primary way of communicating to humanity and they have been written down,…

    Towards a Theology of Risk

    As the global body of Christ takes the gospel into security-challenged environments, its members face significant risks. In response, some elevate risk as a spiritual value, flirting with recklessness; others shun risk, drifting towards a fear-driven paralysis. This article attempts to promote a balanced stewardship, which neither shuns risk nor…

    A Biblical Perspective on Suffering

    When one of our children was born, a quietness settled into the room as the expected cry of a child experiencing their first breath did not happen. There was not a lot of talking, but there was quick, quiet work by the nurses’ expert hands, along with the arrival of…

    In the Name of “Mission Work”

    Zondervan Handbook of Biblical Archaeology [H. Wayne House; Randall Price]

    Implicit in accepting the Bible’s inerrancy is accepting it as history. Those who separate theological truth from historical truth, as it turns out, create an acid that destroys everything it touches. The Bible simply cannot be right about marriage, or human dignity, or justification if it’s wrong about the history…

    Why Social Justice is Not Biblical Justice [Scott Allen]

    This past year, the polarizing prominence of Black Lives Matter has brought the social justice movement to everyone’s doorstep. Increasingly, those blissfully or willfully ignorant are forced to take sides – to share the right posts on social media, to put up the right sign in the yard, to signal…

    Why Bother with the Church [Sam Allberry]

    By the world’s estimation, the church has been sliding – for several decades – down the track of obsolescence.

Our mission was born in the 1980s to proclaim Truth to a church in apostasy. In 1999 we redirected our focus to warn and encourage the remnant to remain faithful in the Truth.

In 2021 we needed to reincorporate as an Indiana nonprofit and decided to change the name to better reflect our mission and purpose in the 21st century.
