Real love tells truth – blowing smoke is selfish

It is often soo easy to tell people what they want to hear – but at times it may do them harm.  Love, real love, puts the other persons *needs* above your own feelings and status. That type of love will motivate you to say things you *really* don’t want to say and cause you to keep quiet about things you *really* want to say…  The common factor is that you will be doing what is best for the other persons long-term well being. This is something modelled perfectly by Jesus…  At times, He would say things that offended people, …

The Truth about Lies!

The TRUTH about lies: 

  • Lies can be incredibly powerful.
  • Lies only hold power if they are believed. 
  • Lies don’t have to be true to be believed.
  • Lies cause the same result as if it were true. 
  • Lies are often hidden from the one who believes them. 
  • Lies can be illogical and contradictory. 
  • Lies are normally learned by experience (as opposed to logic). 
  • Lies can be believed internally (and can be couter to the persons logical belief). 
  • Lies held internally are far more powerful than those held mentally. 
  • Humans can hold to two opposing beliefs at the same time. One is obviously a lie! 

There is only one defence against lies = Truth! 

“I AM THE
TRUTH”

Western Government incentives (in supposed democratic countries) achieve a level of censorship any communist government would be proud of.  But something happened to Lee that would rock his world. As a result, his determination to prove something false …

lies, Lies, LIES! … and how they affect us.

Recently, we had a situation with our children that escalated to a point of tears that is quite rare. After working through the complexity of the situation, it became clear that the cause of it ALL for everyone involved, was LIES… I have to say up front: “I HATE LIES!”  Seriously, at so many levels, lies have affected my life: Believing I was unlovable led me in to (and out of) many unneeded relationships. LIE! Believing I needed to earn people’s approval led me to becoming a workaholic. LIE! Believing there was no God led me to having no respect for people …
