A.W. Tozer once said, “Too much of contemporary Christianity is borrowed from the philosophies of the world and even other religions-phrases and mottos that on the surface look great but are not rooted in Scripture or that mostly bolster one’s self-image.” Alisa Childers, from whose book Live Your Truth and Other Lies was where I found that quote, goes on to say, “These happy little lies are pithy assertions that sound good, safe, optimistic, and constructive, look great stitched on a pillow or turned into a meme, but are lies.” (page 2)

The sad fact is that even though we might use statements like “I want to know the truth” or “I always try to tell the truth,” we often hedge our bets by being less that truthful. Even more disingenuous is how we react when we do hear the truth. This week’s message will simply ask the question, “What will you do with the truth?”  I’m going to start with trying to answer the question Pilate asked Jesus: “What is truth?” Then I’m going to take each day’s reading from Everyday Gospel and see what they say about truth.  It will be a different approach from previous weeks.  I might even have a pop quiz at the end to see how many are keeping up with the reading! Just kidding. 🙂
