Jan 1994 - Editorial

Editors of Needed Truth desire:

(1)To establish in the Faith the brothers and sisters within the Fellowship of Churches of God which produces the magazine, and

(2)To share with believers in Christ a wide range of Scriptural truth. This includes teaching which we believe to be relevant to collective worship and witness in our time.

A major series of articles has been commissioned for 1994: The Eternal God Revealed. These articles are intended to bring out truth about the Godhead, including the Deity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, their unity as one God, and their inter-relationships within the Godhead.

A second series of articles entitled Simon Peter: Bondservant and Apostle, will appear in alternate months over a two-year period. Peter is one of the twelve concerning whose character and conduct we know rather more of than some of the others. He is most generally known as the disciple who denied his Master with oaths and curses. But any assessment needs to be balanced with recognition that after repentance and restoration he showed great moral courage, and his powerful presentation of the gospel was used by the Spirit to bring many to faith in Christ and discipleship.

The centrespread will continue to FOCUS the Word of God on issues facing believers today. A Christian perspective will be presented on areas of contemporary thought. The spread of heresies and of cults purporting to have a scriptural basis is alarming. The writer of FOCUS carefully analyses the claims of individuals and groups in the light of Scripture.

All has been planned is in the permissive will of God; it is possible 1994 might be the year of the Lord's second advent.
