Truth

God is the ultimate source of all truth. What is true is that which corresponds to reality from God's perspective. More practical though, truth can be used in a constructive way or a destructive way. The truth hurts in more ways than one. It hurts to find out the truth of our sins especially if someone else points them out. We should be heralds of truth, but with compassion. One can use truth like using a wrecking ball demolishing everything in site, and one can use truth like a skilled surgeon. Do we use truth appropriately in evangelism and in respect to our Christian brothers and sisters? Do you bash with a wrecking ball the one that needs precision surgery? "On some have compassion others save with fear" (Jude 22). I love the truth but hate the way it is pointed out to me sometimes. Carry the banner of truth Don't hit people over the head with it!
