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

Though there’s no shortage of good Christian books available, I’m sometimes frustrated by the paltry resources for children. Does it matter if the kids think Noah’s ark is just a fun story about a bunch of animals on a boat ride? Too often, the Bible gets reduced to moralism or…
Post Woke [Neil Shenvi; Pat Sawyer]
In the last two decades, America radically reimagined its moral assumptions. To see how far the ground has shifted, one need only remember that Obama and the state of California both publicly opposed gay marriage as recently as 2008. That’s an astounding fact.
