speak truth

  1. The Lord is Near to the Brokenhearted

    “The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the Lord hears And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted And...
  2. You Shall Be Holy

  3. Loving One Another

    “You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbor, but shall not incur sin because of him. You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord. You are to keep...
  4. Building Up One Another

  5. Will You Tell Them the Truth?

    Looking through the window glass, What I’m seeing, need not ask. People staring everywhere Looking as if they don’t care. World is going straight to hell, For the most are under spell, Hypnotized by what they see On their teeny tiny screens. World is lost in all their sins, While the time is...
  6. Don't Listen to The Crowds

    As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him. And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”...
  7. Filled With the Holy Spirit

    I am reading in Acts 4, but the story actually begins in chapter 3, so I am going to summarize a good portion of this until I get to today’s passage, so that we get the context of what was taking place. Peter and John were instrumental in the healing of a man who had been lame since birth. With...
  8. Hate the Evil, Not the People

    “O that You would slay the wicked, O God; Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed. For they speak against You wickedly, And Your enemies take Your name in vain. Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? I hate them with the utmost hatred...
  9. Be Strong and Courageous

    These were the Lord’s instructions to Joshua, who was to succeed Moses, after his death, as the leader of the Israelites. And he was to lead God’s people, who were left, out of the wilderness into the Promised Land. God said to him, “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you.” So, the words...
  10. Don't Be Like Cain

    “For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. Do not be surprised, brothers...
  11. Change Up

    Smaller, smaller, what they holler Shorter, shorter, all in order Wordy, wordy, much too nerdy Chop them, chop them, make them purdy Lessen, lessen the offenses Feel good, feel good, more pretenses Laughter, laughter, always joking Making fun and always poking Sadness, sadness, not in order...
  12. Bear One Another's Burdens

    “My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.” (James 5:19-20 ESV) “Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you...
  13. Let My Words Be True

    Let my words always be true Always thinking, Lord, of You May my lips declare Your praise Both now and ever always Be there no deceit in them No hint then of sarcasm No mincing of words there be Be as clear as they can be May they show forth all Your love Which comes from heaven above Thinking...
  14. Stop Lying! Speak Truth!

    Ephesians 4:25 “Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.” The Lord Jesus is leading me this morning to take a slightly different approach to this passage of Scripture than usual, but the result will be the...
  15. They Strengthen the Hands of Evildoers

    This 23rd chapter of Jeremiah is a lamentation regarding a particular group of pastors who destroy and scatter the sheep (the followers of Christ) of God’s pasture. And how do they scatter and destroy them? They do it by teaching them a false gospel of our salvation and by leading them to reject...
  16. Rubbish In, Rubbish Out

    Ephesians 4:25-32 ESV “Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but...
  17. Don't Measure Others by Yourselves

    2 Corinthians 10:7-12 ESV “Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ's, so also are we. For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying...
  18. Forgive as God Forgives

    As those who profess faith in Jesus Christ, the way we live should not be as it was before we believed in Jesus. We should not live like the ungodly, giving ourselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. That is not how we should have been taught the truth that is in...
  19. Don't Fret! Believe God!

    Psalms 37:1-2,7 ESV Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the...
  20. For They are a Rebellious House

    Ezekiel 2:1-5 ESV And he said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.” And as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. And he said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels...
