 Welcome to Proclaim the Truth!
Proclaim the Truth is a site dedicated to exploring, discussing, and communicating the vast array of information about Biblical Christianity. The motto for Proclaim the Truth is “Faith with Reason, Life with Meaning. Proclaim the Truth is about living out faith in Christ in all matters of life.” To learn more, please see the About page linked at the top. Thank you for visiting.
The verse that I aspire to in writing this site is 1 Peter 3:15: “…in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect…“
 The Proclaim the Truth Blog is a place where I will share generally short segments of cultural commentary from a Christian perspective, I will sometimes post links to articles that I believe are relevant to Christians, and finally, I will post small discussion on various Christian topics ranging from doctrine to Church issues. |

Key Verses of Romans 9 (NIV):
- It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children.
- In other words, it is not the natural children who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.
- Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
- What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses, ”I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
- What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory— even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
- What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the “stumbling stone.”
