Speak Truth

Max Lucado in Just Like Jesus wrote about telling the truth.

Ephesians 4:25: “Speak the truth to one another”.

Are you in a dilemma, wondering if you should tell the truth or not? The question to ask in such moments is will God bless my deceit? Will He who hates lies bless a strategy built on lies? Will the Lord who loves the truth bless the business of falsehoods? Will God honor the career of the manipulator?

Examine your heart. Ask yourself some tough questions. Am I being completely honest to my spouse, friend, or children? Are my relationships marked by candor? What about my work, school, or even church environment? Am I honest in my dealings? Am I a trustworthy student or parishioner? An honest taxpayer? Do you tell the truth….always? If not, start today. Don’t wait until tomorrow. The ripple of today’s lie is tomorrow’s wave and next year’s flood.

Hoping you find peace in your life this week. If something seems missing, come join us on Sunday. We welcome all who come to seek the Lord.
