Our Sinning Lips
Objective truth is difficult to find these days. Whether it's the news program, a politician, social media, or anywhere in today's culture truth is hard to come by. Everyone is speaking "their truth." It's amazing how that phrase, "my truth," has made its way into our everyday language. "I'm just speaking my truth," people say. As if everyone has a different truth.
And it's not just in the wider culture. It's all of us. Online interaction? Post a story making our life seem like something out of a story book. A selfie on social media? Get just the right angle, from the top and the side, that will take away our double chine and the roll above our waistline. A business deal? Hire an elaborate team of lawyers to pour over the contracts and notaries and bidding signatures to ensure that everyone will do what they say they will do. But no amount of lawyers will make people more truthful.
Jesus had some very strong words to His followers regarding truth-telling, honesty, and integrity. This Sunday at OKC First Church as we continue examining Jesus' Best Sermon Ever we will see what Jesus had to say about honesty. We will explore specific directions to help us be obedient to Jesus' teachings. We will see that Jesus' words are just as important for us today as they were for those first listeners. I hope to see each of you online this Sunday morning at 10:45 at OKC First Church for our Memorial Day weekend worship celebration.
