Majorities and Truth, Not The Same!

Stand With the Crowd of Liars

or

Stand Small Alone?

Is It Really So Hard a Choice?

Is It Really a Choice at All?

Exodus 23:2

You shall not follow a majority in wrongdoing; when you bear witness in a lawsuit, you shall not side with the majority so as to pervert justice.

Ephesians 4:15

But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

Words of Grace For Today

It is self explanatory that we would only speak the truth.

Life is not that way for so many people.

I cannot say I understand that, for I’ve stood for the truth often against a crowd who all together speak lies and commit crimes, theft, and fraud, and worse in court where all the other witnesses perjured themselves including RCMP members, and worse, the judges themselves lied about what was given in testimony, one even deleting a section in order to make a false conviction.

These things I do not understand. Speaking the truth always seems to me to be a basic, like eating healthy food.

You may get away with lies temporarily but they still hurt you, and eventually they will be exposed to be lies … and then there is nothing left of the liars. So little gained, and eventually everything lost.

So how is it then, that speaking the truth in love we grow up into Christ?

However that is, today is another day, of paying the costs for others lies, and receiving blessing up on blessing from God.

These blessing pour down on us as rain showers coming and going through our days, sometimes overwhelming us, but always sufficient (for we are not in a drought here, nor in a flood, thank God!)

Today, another day of living blessed and grateful for everything, and praying that God will keep people that so easily lie far from us.
