FROM THE KEYBOARD

Since God's Word is our authority, we should speak it without apology. This is not a license to be rude, this is a license to speak truth. "Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth" (Jeremiah 1:9).

The only way to dismantle lies is to rightly handle the word of truth. You see, without a proper handle on truth, one can easily be handed over to a lie.

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).
