...some people cannot bear the truth, no matter how tactfully it is told. No doubt the haughty, the tyrannical, the unmerciful, the impure, and the fomentors of discord take a fierce exception to the Sermon on the Mount.
Everything you say should be true, but not everything true should be said.
Sunrise in the story of Easter is not just a time of day; it is a state of the heart. Sunrise is the space where nighttime fears move aside for hope, where we feel peace about our mortality in the scope of the universal truth that love abides and where we feel light...
Easter is about love and truth. Easter says that love is more powerful than failure, bigger than death, bigger than the dark, bigger than cancer. Easter says you can bury truth in the grave, but you can’t keep it there. He is risen.
Every truth, without exception, and whoever may utter it, is from the Holy Spirit.
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act.
No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.-----------------------------------------Gender-inclusive version: No one is more hated than the one who speaks the truth.
Remember that all the truth you know is NOT all the truth.
For some Christians... The Bible is only authoritative when they interpret it. Freedom is only for everyone until they say it isn't. Oppression is only real when they feel it. Justice is only fair when it favors them. Capitalism is king until socialism profits them....
As you grow up, always tell the truth, do no harm to others, and don't think you are the most important being on earth. Rich or poor, you then can look anyone in the eye and say, 'I'm probably no better than you, but I'm certainly your equal.
