The Truth

Teaching middle school students this year has been an eye opener for me. It is amazing how the kids can be doing something or say something and when I correct them, they quickly deny doing the very thing I saw or heard them do. Not only do they deny it, their friends are quick to defend them and begin to lie for them and say they didn't do the very thing they also saw them do. I find myself telling them that they are getting so good at lying they probably have forgotten how to tell the truth.

How important the Word of God is to teach us the truth! I recently heard on Christian radio that only 28% of born-again believers read their Bible outside of church. It is no wonder that we get so tripped up and start to believe every lie the enemy throws at us. Let's be careful that we don't "exchange the truth of God for a lie," like we read about in Romans 1:18-25.

Let us "hide God's Word in our heart, that we might not sin against Him." (Psalm 119:11) Let's keep God's Word first on our daily agenda so we will know the Truth. It is the Truth and only the Truth that will set us free!

"If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:31
