Christians Don't Tell Lies

“Christians don’t tell lies – they just go to church and sing them.”
[[a.w. tozer]]


this has been rolling around in my hea[d]rt so much lately.

every time I worship.

every time I say “God is enough” ...“He is worth everything” ... “I will follow Him ANYWHERE!”

really?

when is enough…truly Enough?

I am not advocating perfectionism or ripping out your tongue so that you will not speak falsely.

I am advocating asking the Holy Spirit to search your heart and mind before you carelessly whisper sweet nothings to your God that mean…absolutely nothing.

If I was your girlfriend and you told me soooo many sweet things and journaled about me and even managed hang out with me for a couple hours on, say, a Sunday...but your actions never lined up with your multitudes of platitudes??? What would you EXPECT me to do?

If my actions prove the truth of my words – what is my fruit shouting about me?

!JESUS!


You are my Redeemer.

You remain Faithful when I am faithless.

YOUR words are always true.

Please.

Please let my words MEAN something.

Please make me like You.
