Resolve to Fight Lies with Truth in 2026

Many people are setting goals for the new year. However, Christians are called to a higher level of commitment than just exercising more or organizing the closet. We are called to live with a dedication to truth as ambassadors for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our King has covenanted for our salvation, resolving to love His people to the end (Matt. 28:20; John 13:1). Since Christ is faithful, let us strive to serve Him faithfully this year in thought, word and deed. And may we be resolved to build one another up in our most holy faith.

I pray that our monthly updates uphold this resolution, even as Ligonier Ministries seeks to impart sound words that build people up in the truth (Eph. 4:29; 2 Tim. 1:13). And I believe a similar resolution drives friends like you who financially support this unique teaching fellowship.

As a supporter of this ministry, you help bring truth to Christians worldwide. Thank you for your generosity in spreading trusted Bible teaching to more people. When you step forward to support Ligonier with a donation this month, we’ll send you four books from Ligonier to extend your personal ministry in the cause of truth.

As we begin a new year, we confront a world ensnared by deception. We see it in the commitments people make and the resolutions that govern their lives.

• The resolution to reject accountability before God, resulting in atheism.
• The commitment to overthrow the authority of God’s Word, yielding cults.
• The demand to worship a god made in our own image, leading to false religions.
• The drive to self-indulge and deny God’s good design, culminating in sexual sin.

What underlies each of these corrupted priorities? Lies about who God is and who we are as people made in His image. Their deception promises pleasure and fulfillment—yet it results only in sorrow, corruption, and God’s righteous judgment.

To a world enslaved by deception, our faithful Savior proclaims: “The truth will set you free” (John 8:32). As Christians prepare to reach out to our neighbors in the coming year, we need renewed resolve to know God’s truth so we can share it effectively and confront the false ideas that surround us.

Ligonier’s beloved founder demonstrated this holy resolve by God’s grace. Dr. R.C. Sproul said, “To be uncompromising with the truth of the gospel is a virtue and is demanded of all who would be servants of Christ.”

R.C. contended for the faith without being contentious. While he remained unyielding when the gospel was threatened, he was kind to people who came with honest questions, displaying Christlike compassion for sheep without a shepherd (Matt. 9:36). Following this example, Ligonier is resolved in 2026 to help build up Christians in the truth so they can answer the lies of this world with God’s liberating truth.

You share in this holy resolve through your financial support. Your generosity helps to equip God’s people for the work of ministry (Eph. 4:12) as you propel crucial Bible-teaching outreach:

• Empowering the next generation at our Always Ready youth conferences. Over the next three years, we plan to reach 15,000 teenagers worldwide, demonstrating to students that they are not alone and encouraging them to stand courageously for Christ.

• Gathering disciples around the truth at many other training events and conferences globally. In a few short months, our 2026 National Conference will focus on the theme of Crucial Questions to embolden Christian witness in the world. (Will we see you there?)

• Providing an unparalleled Bible study platform with enhancements to the free Ligonier app. We seek to provide even greater access to the ministry’s wealth of digital teaching resources to arm Christians with truth for the spiritual battles they face.

• Expanding our multi-language discipleship library now that Ligonier is releasing new teaching weekly in the world’s top 20 languages. To prepare for years of ministry and training, Lord willing, we’re increasing our strategic focus on Africa and Southeast Asia.

With every outreach, Ligonier seeks to extend the ministry of Christians so they may think biblically, live faithfully, and fight falsehood courageously with the truth.

Yet “unless the Lord builds the house,” all our efforts are in vain (Ps. 127:1). Above all, our efforts rely on His gracious provision and blessing. Please resolve to pray for Ligonier throughout 2026 so that God will grant this ministry fruitfulness.

In God’s providence, your donation today accelerates outreach in 2026. When you give in support of Ligonier, we’ll send you four books from our library: two copies of A Field Guide on False Teaching and two copies of A Field Guide on Gender and Sexuality. I trust these timely resources will help extend your personal ministry this year, equipping you and a friend to engage the lies of our culture with God’s life-changing truth.

Let’s run our race with renewed resolve for the gospel of Christ that frees souls.
