I cannot lie.
We see an interesting link to lying in the movie Liar Liar.
A character played by Jim Carey is a lawyer and known for lying to get ahead.
After his kid makes a wish on his birthday cake, Carey’s character cannot lie.
He is left to tell the truth and says what some people would classify as hurtful.
There is truth behind what he says.
What if people told the truth all the time?
How would that look to you?
Give your opinion I would love to see some comments.
Are we known as people of truth?
So often in life, politics are played and we hold back what we want to say because of how we would look or what that would say.
I had some people give me some true honest opinions through the years.
I was at work at MSU when I told some people I was engaged.
Most people said congratulations, one person said, “You’ll be divorced in three months.”
They were basing this off of one of their friend’s relationships that got engaged at a young age.
I was also told by someone at a Church I ministered at, “If you leave this Church you will be out of ministry within five years.”
It can be harsh when people speak their own mind, but opinions aren’t truths.
What separates a truth and an opinion?
Having faith is believing in three things, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit (Also known as the Trinity).
John 14:16-17…
“And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever- the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”
Coming to faith, there is a Spirit within you.
Sometimes you won’t believe what is within you.
My friend Matt was telling me a story about how hard it is to hit a baseball.
All the signs and scientific approaches cannot prove how someone can hit a small baseball traveling upwards of 100 mph.
The human mind is not supposed to be able to make that happen, yet it does.
Faith gives us three things to believe in truth, Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit.
There is truth with this, truth beyond our own understanding.
When people mention your name do they mention truthful and honest?
Do they mention opinionated and only cares about themselves?
Can people see your belief or your faith?
If we are people that believe in the truth, does it come out in our actions?
Have a great day.
