LIES, GOSSIP, AN ABOMINATION TO GOD!!!

God’s ninth Commandment  “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” Ex. 20:16

Without Honesty where is the honor , and without trust, A true relationships has no, binding power, or foundation. lives are ruined by what comes out of your mouth. Jesus taught us the importance of truth as He described it as one of the essential ingredients on his Journey here on earth:

“…..To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.” John 18:37  And as I look at it, it must be all about love, For how can one love if lies and gossip controls the mind. For Paul tells us in

Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.” As I look at the world today there is such a grey area in our mind, but certainly not God’s, about lying. A policeman stopped me the other morning, A headlight was out.

upon telling me why he had stopped. At one time in my life my mind, reflex reaction would have been to say; oh officer did not know, will take care of it right away. But as A Child of God who seeks heaven as his home, I had A Christ reflex reaction, in which I said; yes I know it, I will have to get it fix.

He checked my license, gave me a warning and sent me on my way. As Children of God how could we justify anything else coming out of our mouth. Now let’s talk about A problem most of us have and that is gossip, especially at the dinner table after Church. Once we have talked about everything else on God’s day except God we start, our real, idle talk and rumor searching,

which in most cases is hurtful or malicious. Could you imagine Jesus telling His Disciples you know I just saw a Samaritan woman at the well, and she is such a floozy been with all kind of men. Or rumor searching about Mary Magdalene. That harlot had seven demons I had to cast out.

Friends as Children of God, we have to begin removing every weight of sin that does not allow us to walk in the footsteps of Christ. Heb. 12:1 tells us “….let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;..”

My friends remember before you say anything about another child of God ask yourself as A Christian “Is it kind? Is it true? Is it necessary?” And would God approve of what I am saying about another He has shed His blood on Calvary for. A story is told about A young lady going to a dance as a teen.

“My mother was waiting for me when I came home,” she wrote. “But instead of telling her I had a great time, I regaled her with a scathing description of some incredible nerd who’d tried to dance with me. In essence, I said that this guy had a lot of nerve to expect anyone to dance with a person as weird and ugly as he was.

“When I finished my tirade, my mom said, ‘You know, this boy you find ugly and weird is some mother’s pride and joy. She waited for him to come home, just like I waited for you, hoping to hear he’d had a nice time at the dance. But when he came home, she saw his face, she knew someone hurt him, and it broke her heart.

So the next time a boy asks you to dance, before you turn him down or make fun of him, just remember: Every boy is some mother’s son.” So My friends everyone is A child of God who He died on the cross for. Paul tells us in Romans 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

Also in 1 John 3:1 John tells us See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are… My friends lying, Gossiping is A abomination to God. For in Proverbs 6:16-19 it tells us There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him:

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.”’ “for the latter rain will come, and the blessing of God will fill every soul that is purified from every defilement.”

THE KEY WORDS ARE PURIFIED FROM EVERY DEFILEMENT. So today seek God Presence and Spirit in your life through His Holy Word. And Look within yourself and ask “what must I do to be like Christ.” And remember what John tells us in John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
