Truthfulness is a virtue that is rare in the lips of many. I realize that when I was growing up, whenever i would be found in a mistake i would only reveal on a need to now basis and in most cases it may pass as a lie.
Unfortunately this is the same thing that we see in the society today. Truth is given on a need to now basis or rationed in such a manner interest is quickly lost from one in pursuit of it. This has slowly crept in the church as well and in most cases, lies have their places reserved in pews. This will range from marital unfaithfulness to other fors of corruptions even within the church circles.
What happened to truth? when is truth considered to be truth and not just honesty depending on the circumstance? Trully I dont know but as a christian I cant help but wonder if I or the people I associate with are true in their being so as to manifest in their actions or speech. But one thing for sure is that truth can be weighed and it always passes but what happens to the messanger who carries the truth be it in message or object?
To be a Christian in the truest sense, I suppose, it is necessary to be true to the word Christian. What do i mean? To be true to Christ and the Bible and its truths as they once delivered to the saints of old. Jude 3, 2 John 1:9, Acts 2:42. This is no simple matter because the lives of the people whether or not they appreciate the Gospel message which in itself is truth.
I believe that truth can draw people to commitment simply on the merit of being truth. if a persons purpose is based on truth or the seeking of truth, then he/she should ever have to implement demands for blind faith or blind obedience. Creative thinking should be respected and encouraged and if based on truth questions could be rare - I guess. So I ask myself, am I true to the calling upon mylife? What about you?
