Sermon Follow Up: Truth Be Told
In this message, we’re challenged to examine the importance of honesty in our lives as followers of Christ. Jesus taught us our word should be our bond – a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ is sufficient. We’re called to move beyond religious posturing and embrace genuine truthfulness in all aspects of our lives. The ninth commandment, ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ isn’t just about courtroom testimony; it’s a call for integrity in every interaction. As believers, we’re reminded that our witness and our testimony are inseparable. In a world where dishonesty is rampant, we’re invited to be beacons of truth, reflecting God’s character and bringing God’s light into our communities.
Reflection: How might our commitment to truthfulness impact our relationships, both within the church and with non-believers?
