TRUTH AND RELEVANCE

Jesus said, "If you hold to My teaching, you are really My disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."  (John 8:31b-32 NIV)

It is comparatively easy to be faithful if we do not care to be contemporary, and easy also to be contemporary if we do not bother to be faithful. It is the search for a combination of truth and relevance which is exacting.

-- John R. W. Stott in “Christian Mission in the Modern World”
