    Should we always be honest even if it's not the morally right thing to say?

    Do You Want to Know?

    Psalm 139:23-24 KJV Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. The Search If we were to pray that prayer, would we mean it? Do we really and truly want God to search our hearts and minds and...

    What we really need is honesty

    A democracy suffers when pretty much nobody knows what is actually going on, the votes are therefore normally wrong. And with no view of what needs to be done there can be no realistically grounded hope for the future.

    God of the heart

    Jacob I loved, Easu I hated. Rahab the prostitute. David had many wives, killed lots of people, committed adultery yet God blessed Him and walked with Him. Honesty despite our inclinations, repentance when faced with our responses. Sacrifices continuously in the temple, because our...

    Ethics of lying

    This is something I've always wondered: What are the actual ethics of lying, from a Christian perspective? For example when someone asks you for your opinion and you know the honest answer would hurt them. Or when you are flirting with someone and you exaggerate a bit or pretend to be more...

You want more of him in your life, i.e. more of his life being lived out through you. You don’t want to sin...

    I just yelled and vented at God

    There's stuff in my life that have caused me a lot of pain and anger for some time now. Finally it just blew up on me where I just finally, on my way to work in my car, just blew up and screamed at God. I told him how [staff edit] mad I was and told him exactly how I felt. I told him that I no...
