Speak Truth, Recognize Lies
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. … 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. John 8

The devil tells you that living as a servant of Jesus is oppression and that he offers you freedom but what he really gives you is enslavement to sin, death, and hell … while Jesus gives you liberty*, life, and heaven.
The father of lies offers you immediate gratification … The Father of Truth offers you eternal joy.
The prince of this world offers you restless nights … The King of the universe offers you peaceful sleep.
Satan whispers that you should selfishly fulfill the lusts of the flesh and a life of darkness … God says if you are children of Light you will love Him and others through acts of service.
Secularism tells you that you were formed through random chance without rhyme or reason, divided by skin color … The Bible tells you that all humans were created in the Image of God, one blood/one race, with meaning and purpose.
The evil one causes fear, sorrow, and a message of separation … The heavenly messenger says to Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Anti-Christians corrupt the original meanings of love, hope, and faith with humanism … Christianity says faith (in Christ), hope (in Christ), and love (in Christ) are great things to possess.

Speak Truth, Recognize Lies as Outlined in Galatians 5 (complete chapter below):
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like.
… But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.”
*Galatians 5
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
So, let me say it again, friend … Speak Truth, Recognize Lies. How do we discern between truth and lies? We read God’s Word, we pray, we seek, we believe.
I like your writings but the ads are very annoying and distracting. This page was constantly jumping up and down and animated items moving around made it hard to focus on the content. I realize ads are to support you but there must be a way to make them not so intrusive.
I am sorry about the ads. I will see what I can do about changing them.
