First Hand Truth is dedicated to the the Lord and his Word. With that in mind we also want to move you closer and closer to a first hand relationship with the Word and the Lord. You have the responsibility of knowing the Lord on a very personal and intimate level, and we all need to be equipped to do this individually.
