“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” - 1 Corinthians 13:1

Many marriages have been broken up because of false rumors spread by jealous and envious by-standers, and reputations of honest and honorable people have been damaged by the terrible spread of gossip and lies. Are you following the 9th Commandment? “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” - Deuteronomy 5:20 Do you participate in the sin of gossip? Are you spreading lies and passing along stories without even stopping to investigate if it is true? Do you blindly trust the words of “worldly” authority - or your friend - or your family member – or the celebrity you follow - without questioning the motives behind their accusation? Hear God’s word! “You must not lie or deceive one another.” - Leviticus 19:11 Starting lies about someone or spreading lies about someone is bearing false witness – and this is a terrible offense in the sight of God. A TERRIBLE offense. I can think of no other practice than this - except maybe deep-seated hatred and lack of forgiveness in your heart - that would so quickly cut off the blessings and power of God in your life. Repent of this ungodly behaviour today! Seek the Lord’s face and ask for His forgiveness before it is too late. For the time of our Lord’s return is near. .............................. “You must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.” - Ephesians 4:17 .............................. Do not be like them brother and sisters. You have been called for a higher purpose. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
- John 1:1 |
