Is That True?

“And working together with Him, ---’ –giving no cause for offense in anything in order that the ministry be not discredited, but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distressed, in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in hunger, in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, in the Word of Truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness, for the right hand and the left, by glory and dishonour, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true;" from II Corinthians 6:1-10

I saw a most interesting video recently about the “tells” (physical micro-behaviours that indicate when someone is lying, for example a nervous tic or like when you were a kid and you crossed your fingers behind your back). I had no idea there was so much research on this topic. But it’s clear God’s so created us with a deep understanding of what’s right and wrong, that our very bodies betray us when we try to step outside the truth. This series is how we are to “commend” ourselves to others to help fulfil His plan. Our ministry for Him is impacted by our willingness to be truthful and to know His Truth.

“Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, ‘If you abide in My Word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.’” John 8:31-32

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
