Welcome to TruthForFree.com. The purpose of this website is to honor Jesus Christ and encourage others in the pursuit of intimate realtionship with Him - leaving all distractions behind and embrace only His truth.
It is this author's opinion that too many believers today have become distracted with the organization and institutionalization of religion (content to go with the flow of what is traditionally accepted as "Christian" instead of knowing what Scripture teaches and the Holy Spirit designs) and too few know how to really discern the body of Christ, which is a living organism and a SPIRITUAL house of living stones - not defined by religious buildings, lifeless programs and denominations. This is not to say that there is never any benefit to organization so long as we are following the lead of the Holy Spirit... but our freedom, joy and spiritual strength in this life depends on the nourishment we receive through our submission to Christ alone and our willingness to follow Him regardless of whether His Way aligns with our "traditions" or not.
We are instructed in the Scriptures to love not the world and not to follow its mindsets, but to submit ourselves to God so that we may resist the ungodly mindsets of it and flee the schemes of the devil (James 4:4-7) so, in some cases, offenses will be inevitable the closer we move to truth and the crucifixion of our old mindsets and even some of those stale, stumbling religious ways. The eneavour here, however, is not to offend (as much as is "humanly" possible) but to share the truth in love and lift up the name of Jesus Christ and His message. Love is so important because as 1 Corinthians 13 says, "now we see as through a clouded glass" and we all see only in part. In other words, we don't know everything and there is room to grow in truth for all of us. Love enables us to encourage that pursuit of truth but stand arrogantly over our brothers and sisters who may yet be of a different persuasion. God knows how to pull us together on the right path if we just stay teachable and humble.
This site features a host of resources, including articles by a number of authors and links to a number of different websites (many of whom I am aquainted with in some way or another and a few that I am close to, though perhaps not directly linked together in "ministry"). My sincere desire is that you will be encouraged, edified and strengthened in your walk with Christ through the ministry of the actual body of Christ (or, in other words, by various brothers and sisters in the Lord, from various backgrounds and locations, who have walked with God and have some precious wisdom to share with those that desire more than just religion).
