My dad’s in his hospital bed with half his brain inflamed with cancer. I’m on one side of that bed and a member of the clergy is on the other side. He said, “Mr. Gardner, you are going to walk again.”
I blurted, “No, he isn’t. My dad is going to die.” That didn’t go over so well. Lies told to my father by me in times past were many, but this was a time for truth, and it was the truth he was going to hear. I was too concerned about the consequences of his believing a lie at that time.
Truth is important. Does the Bible address it? Glad you asked.
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.
Give it some thought and stand for the truth.
