Three truly terrible things to tell
>> Wednesday, March 25, 2009
1. a tall tale
Has anyone ever made false statements at you? To have your character under question is an awful experience.
Psalms 109:2, "For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue."
Or has anyone swindled your assets by false statements?
Proverbs 21:6, "The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death."
2. a taunting remark
Has anyone made a rude comment about you or has insulted you? How distasteful and humiliating.
Ephesian 5:4, "Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving"
3. a "tie out" promise
Have you ever been disappointed as your plans were built with the expectation someone will come through for you? How displaced you feel when commitments are not made.
Matthew 5:37, "But let your communication be, Yea, yes; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil".
