Paul tells the Ephesian Christians to girt their loans in truth. One's loins is the center of one being. It is the place stability. In a world which runs on the current of popular opinion it's often difficult to discern truth. Is is found in science, or philosophy, or politicians or power. Real truth is found in Jesus Christ who proclaimed, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father accept through me." This is the truth that Paul encourages the Ephesians gird their loins with. It's the same truth we ought to hold tight to our core.

We’re Wrestling Who? - Ephesians 6:10-13David Turner
Our battles are not against flesh and blood. Our battles are against Principalities and Powers. These adversaries are much bigger than us and cannot be defeated by our own strength.

Wrestling In A Dark World John 15:18-16:4 and Ephesians 6:12-13David Turner
As believers in Jesus Christ we are fighting against the Principalities and Powers of this world. We cannot fight with the methods of the world. We must wrestle in the manner in which Christ wrestled, in the power of the Spirit.
Can you remember the joy of first receiving Christ? Why is it, that as we grow in Christ we sometimes know more, but experience the joy less. It's choice. In any relationship it requires a degree of effort to keep the joy in the relationship. Lord, Please return the joy to us.
It's hard for most people to grasp the concept of being a slave. Most would deny that they are servants. But the reality is that we are all slaves/servants to something. If one is honest with himself He'll admit that he is in bondage to his job, to a location where he lives, to a bad marriage, to a sick and dying body and most of all to sin. Paul speaks in the context to the Roman empire where the majority of his listeners are servants. You may not be this kind of a servant, but the principles are still applicable to employees, students and even children. Jesus did not come to rule but to serve. We are to do the same.

Have you ever been subpoenaed to testify in a court of law? If so, describe the circumstances, what happened and how you felt? What prevents us from being effective witnesses? Do we, like the disciples, have concerns or perspectives or priorities that restrict us or distract us from effectively fulfilling our roles as witnesses?
What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Why is proclaiming the Gospel of Christ necessary? What are some reactions you have had when you shared the Gospel? Why do many people react negatively to the Gospel of Christ? (John 6:60-66; Mark 6:1-6)

We are forgiven by God through Christ, therefore we ought to forgive others even as God has forgiven us. This is the heart of the Gospel. Growth in the spiritual life is often hindered because we often refuse to forgive others.

Are we trying to impress the world? Are we trying to impress others? Who are we trying to impress? Ultimately we can impress no one, not even God. But rewards are with God, not because we can impress him, but because he honors those that love him.
John 1:1 claims that all life is in Christ. He is the creator of life and he sustains all life. He is the author of physical life and spiritual life. Without him there is no life.

They Trusted In Something Greater Than ThemselvesDavid Turner
The founding fathers of our nation trusted in something greater than the Declaration of Independence. They trusted in the Bible and the God of the Bible. Our present leaders would do well to put their trust in the same God and the same Bible.
The greatest book of liberty is not a document or a declaration. The greatest book of liberty is the Bible. The bible presents the Gospel, the good news that sets me free.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

7. What is Truth?
• Correspondence theory of truth
• Rational truth
• Empirical truth
• Truth is relative
• It’s impossible to know the truth
• Truth is an illusion
• Truth is only in the realm of ideas
• Truth is only what we experience
• If I believe it is true
12. Where is Truth?
• Economics?
• Science?
• Culture?
• All these may contain truths,
• But, where and what is “THE TRUTH”.
13. John 18:37–38a
37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?”
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For
this purpose I was born and for this purpose I
have come into the world—to bear witness to
the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to
my voice.” 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
14. Ephesians 6:10–17 (ESV)
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put
on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the
schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic
powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in
the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that
you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to
stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and
having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for
your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet
of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
15. • Isaiah 11:4–5 4 but with righteousness he shall
judge the poor, and decide with equity for the
meek of the earth; and he shall strike the
earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the
breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and faithfulness* the belt of his loins.
16. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt
of truth (Lit. “Having girt about your loins with
truth,”)
A good soldier stands firm.
A good soldier puts on truth.
17. • Truth is more than simply telling the truth.
• It implies trustworthiness, dependability,
steadfastness, faithfulness.
18. Old Testament
• emeṯ, usually translated “truth,” is related to the verb āman
“support, sustain, establish,” to the noun emûnâ “firmness,
faithfulness,” and to āmen “truly,” the source of the exclamation
“Amen!”
19. God of “truth”
Deuteronomy 32:4 “The Rock, his work is
perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of
faithfulness* and without iniquity, just and
upright is he.
20. New Testament
• Etymologically ἀλήθεια has the meaning of ….
ἀλήθεια, therefore, denotes the “full or real state of
affairs.”
21. John 1:1–17 (ESV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were
made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was
made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light
shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 6 There
was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came as a
witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through
him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the
world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him,
yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own
people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who
believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the
will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt
among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from
the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and
cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks
before me, because he was before me.’ ”) 16 For from his fullness we
have all received, grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through
Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
22. • John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and is now
here, when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is
seeking such people to worship him.
23. Power of Truth
• John 8:31–32 31 So Jesus said to the Jews who
had believed him, “If you abide in my word,
you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know
the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
24. Enemy stands in the lie
• John 8:44–46 44 You are of your father the
devil, and your will is to do your father’s
desires. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and does not stand in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he lies,
he speaks out of his own character, for he is a
liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I tell
the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which one
of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth,
why do you not believe me?
25. Jesus is the Truth.
• John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way,
and the truth, and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me.
26. • Matthew 24:22–24 (ESV)
• 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no
human being would be saved. But for the sake
of the elect those days will be cut short.
23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is
the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.
24 For false christs and false prophets will arise
and perform great signs and wonders, so as to
lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
27. We must stand firm to Truth
• God is truth: Reliable, trustworthy, faithful,
steadfast.
• God’s Word is truth: reliable, trustworthy,
faithful, steadfast.
• Jesus is truth.
• The Gospel is truth.
28. John 18:37–38a
37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?”
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For
this purpose I was born and for this purpose I
have come into the world—to bear witness to
the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to
my voice.” 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
Pilate didn’t listen.
What about You?
