John 1:1-5, 9, 14
Matthew 5:14-16
Luke 12:1-3, 8
I want to talk today about the TRUTH... we live in a day of so much misinformation... it's the information age... might as well be the misinformation age. What I'm talking about today is not enough to just know. We live in an information age. Unfortunately we have too much information and not enough wisdom, insight, attention, meaning, TRUTH
1. Satan is the Father of Lies, Jesus is the Truth サタンは嘘の父、イエスは真理
John 8:44-45, 14:6
What lies are we living in today. lured by wealth, power, the shape of religion without the truth... car light... lies: shame, worthiness, desires, inability...
Romans 12:21
James 4:7
The opposite spirit... maybe the lie you believe is that the thing hurts too much and you cannot forgive... that's a lie of the enemy
2 Cor 2:10-11
We know he's a liar ... that he twists the truth when he tempted Jesus ... and he twists the truth to separate relationships. We need radical commitment to relationship. Radical commitment to truth.
2. Pray the truth (honestly) 真理をもって(正直に)祈る
You know some of you journal just to fill in a box. You're looking for any application.... Journal is not about always finding some way we need to tweak how we live. If it's not honest, you'll never get an honest answer. You can see it in the psalms.
Psalms 143:12,
Psalms 137:8-9
Are you being honest in your prayers before God... he's big and he can handle it.
3. Live in the Light of Truth 真理の光の中に生きよう
Matthew 5:14-16
Daniel 3 tells the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego ... (not in handouts-> Daniel 3:24-27)
Dishonest scales... with the measure you use... all these things will come to light. You are children of the light. He's called you out of shame.
1 Peter 2:9
