I am a firm believer that God alone is the source of truth, that His truth is absolute, and that absolute truth is found in\u00a0God’s Word. However, I don’t<\/strong> believe that God has limited us to finding His truth only in His Word.<\/p>\n

In fact, the Bible itself tells us that God has infused both His creation and our conscience with the truth about Him
\n(Romans 1:18-2:16<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But, truth is found in other places as well. Just as Paul was able to use then-modern poets and philosophers to show God’s truth, so can we (see Acts 17:22-31<\/a> and Titus 1:10-14<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I just finished Jim Collins’ excellent book, Good to Great<\/em><\/a>. It’s not about the Bible; it’s about how to turn a good company into a great one. But\u00a0many of the principles he presents are truth. In fact, out of the 80 sections that I highlighted in my copy of the book, next to 25 of them I wrote at least one\u00a0Bible reference containing a direct parallel. And many of the rest were similar to Bible principles. I just didn’t think of an exact\u00a0verse right away.<\/p>\n

The same principles that apply to growing a great company apply to growing a great Christian and growing a great church. In fact, that sounds like a great teaching series. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
