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.

    Adoption Is God’s Idea

    Why adopt? Why the topic of adoption? Why would we care for orphaned and vulnerable children by bringing them into our families? Why would we immerse ourselves in hard and broken places? Because that’s what Christ has done for us. Adoption is having full membership in a family that one…

    Rethinking the KJV as a Primary Translation

    God wants Christians to follow Him. He transcends cultural and language barriers, even taking on human form. This means He desires to be heard and obeyed. Because God primarily communicates with His people through His translated words, it is imperative that people have Scripture intertwined with their common language in…

    Shooting Up [Jonathan Tepper]

    Elliot and Mary Tepper had big dreams of evangelizing to university students when they moved their young family to Madrid, but they never expected to end up working with the heroin addicts in the nearby slums instead. In Shooting Up (which is part missionary biography, part coming-of-age story), Jonathan Tepper…

    The Biggest Story Bible Storybook [Kevin DeYoung]

    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. Today, arguments about systemic racism, DEI initiatives,…

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.
