We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Are we "Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”



In Paul’s second letter to Bishop Timothy he talks about perilous times in the last days. “For men shall be lovers of their own selves…lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God…” (2 Timothy 3:1 – 8)  I love it where he says, “Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
We as mankind think we are so smart. We study science, medicine, humanities, and many, many things about the world we live in, but we know nothing until we recognize God’s hand in all these things.
The addict does not recover until he/she recognizes a higher power greater than their own. We in our puny attempts to do good go about trying to saving mankind in our humanitarian efforts only to learn that it is the master that save us after all we can do.
