LOVE WORTH FINDING BY ADRIAN ROGERS
Love Worth Finding Devotional 21st May 2023 by Adrian Rogers Sunday Message. As you study today’s devotional, remember this; “Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” – 2 Timothy 2:15 (NLT)
TOPIC: Are You a Truth-Teller?
SCRIPTURE: “Therefore, putting away lying, ‘Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,’ for we are members of one another.” – EPHESIANS 4:25
PONDER THIS
Christians are called to lead by example. For parents, that means confessing and asking for forgiveness when you’ve done wrong. Let your children know you are a truth speaker.
You can fail in many ways and still come out fairly good with your children. But if you fail to keep your word, to keep your promises, or to tell the truth to your children, I promise you that your home is on the road to disaster. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for parents to tell the truth.
Do your children know you tell the truth? Do you ever teach children to lie for you? If we teach them to lie for us, we should not punish them when they lie to us. I actually heard about a mother who told her son, “Johnny, if you don’t stop lying, there’s a green man that lives on the moon who’s going to catch you and make you pick up sticks the rest of your life.” Why would we expect our children to tell the truth based on the threat of a lie? Simply live the Word of God. Moms and dads, tell the truth and keep your word.
- How has a lie affected your perception of someone? How did it shape your relationship?
- How can you prioritize truth-telling in your life?
PRACTICE THIS
Pray and ask God to help you value truth and keep your word to others. Consider anywhere you have lied and what you might do to rectify that.
