Truth telling (not my truth or your truth, but the real, honest truth) is the sign of freedom and courage. It’s the freedom and courage to speak and obey your conscience instead of deceptive feelings and desires.

Truth aligns with actuality. Dishonesty and deception don’t. “The truth shall set you free.” Truth doesn’t hide, doesn’t deceive, and doesn’t distort reality. It doesn’t twist and turn and scheme.

Truth never lies. The truth and dishonesty don’t mix. If you claim to have your own truth, but aren’t completely and fully honest, your truth is a lie.

The truth exists. It’s what is truly happening and what has truly happened. It’s not myths that are made up and manufactured to protect the sensitivity of human feelings and desires.

It takes great courage to admit and speak the unfiltered and unaltered truth, especially to do so with humility, love, and care. Dare to be the rare human being who consistently and sincerely attempts to kindly speak the truth to everyone (uninfluenced by pressure from others) regardless of the cost or consequences. Refuse to mix truth with the inclusion of delusion.

Seek the truth. Run with the truth. Proclaim the truth. Demonstrate the truth daily. Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life.” Open up and surrender your heart to the risen Jesus so that “Christ in you,” can empower you from within to consistently and humbly live in the truth and so He can be your “hope of glory.”

Freedom of Conscience

Often inclusion
Is an illusion.
Like oil and water
Some ideas don’t mix.
There is no fusion,
Only confusion.
Right and wrong
Don’t sing the same song.
There’s no collusion
Between them.
Blanket approval
Of good and evil
Brings societal
Upheaval.
Here’s the conclusion:
Show kindness and care
To everyone,
Even enemies,
And speak truth with love.
Protect your conscience
From the intrusion
Of moral delusion.
Refuse to approve
Of what you believe
To be morally wrong.
