TODAY'S FEATURED STORY
Fact-Checking President Trump from CBS This Morning
Liar! Liar! Pants on Fire!
It's fact-checking time again!
And so it goes, multiple parties, multiple candidates in multiple races from the top on down, all seem to share the same penchant, the penchant for lying. The opponents are all dirty rotten scoundrels who never keep their word and spread dirt about the good guys. Of course, we all know which party is guilty of the most abuse - and that would be, the other one. Like sin in all of its expressions, we are so used to companioning with the lie that we hardly notice what an outrageous offense it is. It is an offense to our national integrity and to our way of life. It is a threat to our social structure. Most importantly, it is an offense to a holy God, a God who hates the lie in any form and espouses the truth! Jesus declared "I AM TRUTH!" God still judges us and holds us accountable to the truth and one day, we will all stand before Him to give an account for our obedience to the truth.
Our pursuit of truth begins with a Person. Read the scriptures!

TODAY'S FEATURED SCRIPTURES
Truth, and our own hypocrisy. (Romans 2:1-3 NKJV)
Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
Our penchant for denial and lies does not come from God. (John 8:44 NKJV)
You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
God judges all liars. (Revelation 21:8 NKJV)
But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Truth and the solution for our lying is found in a Person. (John 14:6 NKJV)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
