“CHRIST TRUTH LEAGUE STAND” The aim of our work is to teach and practice a higher, deeper, and more practical understanding of the Gospel as taught and lived by Jesus Christ, that man may receive full benefit of the Work of the Savior.
Our aim is
to express the Truth of Christ; our purpose is to
prove we of course believe in the One God of the Hebrews and the
One Father of Jesus
Christ.
We
believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ as a record of His works, by
which He
ushered a more excellent way of life into the experience of the human
race,
(the Gospel of the kingdom of God on earth: G.R.D.). We believe this
better way
of life means a new, more vital life that we may live in the present
time. We
believe all future benefit is dependent upon present Application of the
Live
Principle. We believe a conscious, confident practice of the true
Christ Doctrine on the part of those who
consider themselves Christians would be such
a vital force as to solve many of the problems of humanity. We believe that such a conscious, confident
practice of the Christ Truth Doctrine is the only guaranteed solution
to the
problems of the nations. We believe that Christians have a secret
weapon in the
understanding use of impersonal love: a weapon capable of subduing all
the
forces of the world which, in realities have already been overcome by
Jesus
Christ. In this we include ungodly or dictatorial ideologies. Our
goal is
to practice this quality of love, while recommending in to all of God’s
people for practical use.
We could be described as interdenominational, because we adhere
to the ideas of
the
![]() Years ago we made a statement of purpose. It still stands: “The CHRIST TRUTH LEAGUE is a fellowship of sincere students seeking practical application of the Law of Life as taught and lived by the Master of Life, Jesus Christ. We aspire to that saving grace that teaches, preaches, and heals; that quickens with life the dormant hopes and unfulfilled ideals in the individual and in the race.” “ THE GOLDEN RULE THROUGHOUT MANY FAITHS” Rev. Gene R. de Vaux Men
may differ grossly in what and
how they worship, but not in why and how they believe they should
behave.
They may be divided by their form of worship, or in other ways
such
as in the scriptures, but there is a “Golden Thread,” that runs through
the many faiths. Could the
Omnipresent God, have inspired the writers of these various religions?
