While it is true that Truth shall prevail, and that ultimately only that which is true shall prevail, this does not automatically mean that things that are true and people that are truthful shall be victorious in the short run. Not does it mean that the declaration of the truth will automatically cause people to fall upon each other to embrace it. If the crowd rises to fall upon each other, it would in all probability to kill the messenger of truth, and the other way round.

Witness the countless reformers, social activists, and visionaries who gave away all they had for bringing some good to the society, where they were only met with hostility, violence, and even murder. A good example would be Mahatma Gandhi who was shot dead.

You might argue that the man who shot the Mahatma was enraged by a certain thing that the Mahatma did. Exactly! All the good that the father of our nation did was forgotten in a moment, and just one act on his part was deemed sufficient for a murder. It is this kind of irrational behavior on the part of masses because of which I said that Truth does not always prevail in the short run — more so if you do not know how to present or advocate the truth.

A good example would be the life of Madhaorao Scindia. (My review Goodness Alone Is Not Enough! introduces a book on him). The people of Gwalior worshipped Madhaorao. I used to address him as Maharaj or Your Highness though that was not required by him. I did so out of my respect for him and his father Jiwajirao Scindia, another great and benevolent ruler of Gwalior. I have known him closely because I was brought up in Gwalior. I have personally interacted with him on numerous occasion and found him a great thinker, patriot, and benevolent person. Corruption was totally alien to his soul. Yet he was not liked by many people in power. They even tried to implicate him in several false cases, all of which were thrown out eventually.

The reason why truth does not always prevail in the short run is obvious to those who analyze history, but most of us never do that and the truth evades us. Truth does not always prevail because people need to act on truth if it is to prevail. They act only if they are convinced. Unfortunately, the process of mental conviction is not that straightforward. Nor do people are convinced of things based upon their truthfulness alone, else the world would have been free of superstitions.

The process of declaring the truth, making people see the truth, inducing them to be convinced, and motivating them to action is a long drawn-out human process that requires a clear understanding of how people can be influenced for change and action. It also requires a clear understanding of the subtle (and the not so subtle) forces that interplay to oppose and support this process. It also involves containing the forces that might abort the process of positive changes.

Only a great leader with insight and perception into this intricate “game” can make truth to win. Since most crusaders and leaders are novices at this game, they fail in spite of truth and in spite of their sincerity. They lay down their lives (and all that goes with it) but end up disappointed, if not failures.

If you have been called to lead, and if you have been called to reform, do not fall into the trap of believing that truth alone is that matters in a campaign. Take care of the subtle facts. If you are not good at that, then join someone else’s crusade to help him. If that is below your dignity, then do nothing and dignity shall remain with you.

Every person can accomplish one or more things that he thinks is impossible — but most people do not know how to go about doing it.

Here is a 25-page (A4 size) ebook from Rich Dixon that explains the subject lucidly and an an extremely absorbing manner. Please click on the picture to download your PDF copy immediately.

As the return of the Lord Jesus Christ is nearing and the age is also closing in on the schemes of satan – he is working fast around the human clock to spread his deceptions and heresies.

While it is evidently quite difficult for Satan to lure believers into heinous sinful activities – he’s found other means of getting to them right from their pulpits. He is using the means of heresies and even heretic preachers to divert Christians from their primary mission – God.

The Word of Faith Movement has been at the very front of promoting doctrines or teachings that are nowhere taught in Scripture. These men and women distort many passages of the Bible to propagate their own ideas rather than the clearly revealed Word of God.

The growth of mass media, corresponding with an unusually wide reach at little cost, and the general rise of an amoral outlook worldwide has ensured that questions and statements that are meant to distort and destroy the Christian faith have become common. They are popped with impunity even by Christian writers and speakers who are Christian in name but thoroughly paganized in their thoughts and actions. The stream has been polluted at the source itself.

There are always genuine inquirers into the Christian claims in spite of this deviance, and they need to be helped. The answer is Christian Apologetics, which is that branch of theology that handles "apologia" the process of answering inquiries and refuting false claims. The aim of Christian apologetics is to offer evidence so as to lead people to faith in Christ. The entire gospel of John was written for this purpose, and that is a demonstration of how important God the Holy Spirit considers Christian Evidences.

There are plenty of seekers around us — they seek the truth, and they also seek answers for perplexing questions. The world is quick to seize upon such people to present them with totally false ideas, but in the garb of truth. Thus it is the responsibility of every Christian to search for truth-seekers and offer them answers.

The purpose of Christian apologetics is twofold. First, it gives answers to those who seek for truth. Second, it helps confused people to see the truth. This website has been developed with these purposes in mind.

You do not have to be an expert or specialist in Christian apologetics to use it. On the contrary, just as you use a computer without necessarily understanding the innards, you can use the tools provided by Christian apologetics to help people who need it most.

Human sin nature has so distorted that people would welcome anything except the truth. No wonder they cried for the release of Barabbas the murderer and the crucifixion of Jesus the benevolent Saviour.

To the same category belongs what is strangely called the "Jesus Seminar". This is not the Jesus of the Bible, and they are not Christian believers. Yet they continue to deceive many. Rick Williams, a student of Trinity School, has authored an analytical Ebook on this subject which lays bare all this deception in the name of "Jesus". Download it today itself and distribute it to all those whom you know.

So you want to be the next Christian writer? Or you have been toying with the idea of writing? Congratulations! You are in good company!

Christian communicators always used to be writaholics — that also in generations when writing tools were not abundant. The Church Father alone wrote so much, that even after most of it perished due to the passage of time and ravages of nature, more than thirty volumes of books are needed to compile just the fragments discovered so far. That is not all, if the writings of contemporary Christians is taken into account, the number of volumes might become two to five times that number.

Here is a FREE Ebook from a person who has authored more than 70 books and 7000 articles on Physics, Mathematics,  Theology, Apologetics, Counseling, Biblical Archeology, and  Communication.

No wonder the church keeps growing in its resemblance to the pagan world. Its moral values, its ethical values, its commitment to marriage, all have been moving closer to that of the world. In many countries the church is now indistinguishable from the world.

Only a church that is in the world but which is not of the world will triumph. But when the world is so much into the church that both of them feel comfortable with each other, it is time to sound the alarm.

Christians, influenced by the fads and fashions of the world, have also been playing the same redefining game but with more far-reaching consequences. As a result, commitment, worship, repentance, devotion, faithfulness and piety no longer mean what the Bible means by these things.

Redefining the fundamentals can surely give one a sense of security, but it cannot change the reality. It is reality that the Christian needs to confront in his daily life, not imaginations.
