Download or read book Truth Plus Love Bible Study Guide written by Matt Brown and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it better to prove our point? Or just try to love? Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today’s tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy for us to focus on proving our points rather than extending God’s grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love but never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God’s plan. As believers in Christ, we need to be known for both truth and love. In this video Bible study, evangelist Matt Brown draws on the example of the apostle Paul to show how believers can influence their world with the truth while living in a way that reveals their love. By developing the fruit of the Spirit, we naturally begin to draw others to the love of Christ within us . . . and to the truth found in God’s Word. Truth plus love is the formula for transforming our lives and influencing the world for Christ. The Truth Plus Love Study Guide includes video teaching notes, discussion questions, Bible exploration, and weekly personal study and reflection materials. Sessions include: Truth Plus Joy Truth Plus Peace Truth Plus Gentleness Truth Plus Faithfulness Truth Plus Patience Truth Plus Love Designed for use with the Truth Plus Love Video Study (9780310112358), sold separately.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We re becoming a culture that says there is no truth to be found about God. We also think that tolerance is about accepting every view as equally true but, realistically, with an exception excluding the Christian faith. Christians are rapidly becoming the target of secular media and aggressive atheist propaganda, marginalizing not just Christian beliefs, but also Christian people. False ideas within the body of Christ and the influence of culture crack our foundation of faith. Many women need to go back to the basis of their beliefs and strengthen confidence in their beliefs and in God. The goal of this study is to help every Christian effectively converse on truth by following basic steps: 1) See the need for these conversations, 2) Know what you believe, 3) Listen to discover the cultural view, 4) Learn to ask questions, 5) Respond to false beliefs, and 6) Engage in a lifestyle of total truth.
