"that we may know Him that is true..." - 1 John 5:20

ThatWeMayKnow.com is dedicated to the knowing and sharing of truth and providing readers with springboards for their own thought on a variety of subjects. As much as we possibly can, we want to avoid speculation and the pushing of personal preferences. And, as much as we can we want to apply ourselves to the speaking of the truth in love however passionate the “tone” may seem at times.

Andrei Sakharov, the father of the Soviet Hydrogen bomb who once said that the bomb was the most powerful weapon on earth, later said that he’d changed his mind about this, believing instead that, “The most powerful weapon in the world is the truth.” Two millennia before this, Jesus said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). Real truth has the power to free people from the bondage and misery that sin. It is the only lethal weapon against lies. This truth, is that which is found in the Word of God — truth that addresses every issue exactly and explains the reason for, and the answer, to every problem.

Edward Everett Hale famously said, “I am only on, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because iI cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.” This is my sentiment exactly and the reason for this web site. I hope you will partner-up with me in this by recommending and sharing this site with your friends

Q &A: HOW FAR DOES A PASTOR’S AUTHORITY BIBLICALLY AND LEGITIMATELY EXTEND?

The pastor’s office is that of a bishop (1 Tim. 3:2), an elder (1 Tim. 5:17; 1 Pet. 5:1-3) an overseer (Acts 20:28), and a supervisor (1 Pet. 5:2). All of these terms imply and insist on a certain authority and leadership role that has been divinely given to those who pastor the Lord’s churches; a role that needs to be recognized and respected by church members. But this authority has its limitations.
