(Originally published in 2015, author unknown. Still has some good thoughts in it...)

Is anybody telling us the truth? We have people who we trusted letting us down. The president and many of our politicians have broken trust. Now we find a popular news anchor who has been caught telling us things that did not happen. He is not the first to do so and he may not be the last. But some folks are now wondering if they could trust those in the newsroom.

It is a sad commentary on those who we have thought were trustworthy when the public says, “You cannot believe a word ________ (you fill in the blank) say.” Is it simply easier to be dishonest than it is to be truthful? When we say something that is not honest and then have to retract it, our credibility is lost and our character has been compromised. The news anchor will always be remembered for the scandal just as a couple of others will be who attempted to slant the news to fit their agenda.

God has called us to be honest in every aspect of life. We make choices. We can choose to be honest and upright or we can go the opposite direction. There are consequences with either choice. It matters little about others, what does matter is you. Do you tell the truth? Come worship with us Sunday.
