Note at 33m 14s, the self-proclaimed Salida inept preacher burst
out in a rage not hearing the warning. He proceeded to encourage
most to rise up and leave while turning the building lights off.
He then hid from view in the shadow of the exit door to hear
the remainder. The light is dark for this cowardice club of men.
Sadly, the Salida church of Christ is buried in the weeds of lies.
Darkness stops where light commands.
Truth is what will stand before all eternity.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." ~ John 8:32
"... speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand." ~ Ezekiel 3:18
Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar. – Liz Cheney
A good question is, should we avoid telling the truth?
Keeping truth in the shadows invites being blindsided when
God’s judgment exposes all. When truth becomes offensive and
ignored, love for others and self is hindered, which can then be mired
in guilt and shame, consuming the peace of a healthy spirit.
A clear conscience is where the free reside.
Without truth’s enlightenment, there is no cure on the path of salvation
where honest confession and repentance is paramountly regarded by God.
WITHOUT CONFESSION THERE IS NO REPENTANCE.
God considers our actions,
how and who we praise, and who we condemn.
It is true that not listening to God’s word or applying truth
causes problems, and hinders the call of the gospel’s application.
Truth anchors salvation.
Many set their bellies on lunch rather than candid considerations of truth.
The donkey is not heard with closed ears or a proud heart that just looks
for profit over another.
It is true preachers are fired for telling the truth.
It takes courage to tell the truth in the face of condemnation.
Tyranny’s anguish exists where people or one is forced
to remain silent under the threat of undeserved reprisal.
Threats and bullying supports none.
It is said that sunlight is the best disinfectant.
It is then paramount to examine what God’s
word explains and instructs in His Light.
Integrity has no fear of accountability
God says the wicked shall surely die
🡣
🡢 and you give him no warning
nor speak to warn the wicked
🡢 to save his life 🡠
that same wicked man
shall die in his iniquity
🡦 🡧
but his blood
I will require at your hand
Truth from Jesus levied painful results from those who would not listen,
and unlike us, He did not cower to speak. We find when courageously
in service to others, we glorify God fearlessly in the highest.
When nefarious plans drive an organization, whatever it may be, it loses
its’ compass for decency and respect for truth and honesty, dismissing
genuine well-intended shepherds and or leaders. The phony take over.
The church of God becomes ineffective when it becomes a club of men,
and not a house of God-fearing honest hopeful worshipers.
Where good people are blamed as bad to
avoid accountability is surely tragic in the eye of God.
"Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, ..." ~ Ezekiel 3:19
It takes courage to proclaim the truth
Yet, if you warn the wicked
🡣
🡢 and he does not turn

There are those unwilling to accept the truth of their actions
for the shame of exposure. They will not take heed to the call
to be truthful for their foundation of deception would crumble.
Insecurity and anxiety ride on the heart of a liar.
It is truly a shame that these liars steal the truth and
consume the innocent that foolishly choose to believe them.
Trust is the farthest thing you can achieve with a liar.
Liars have no pure love for hate of others and self.
Unrepentant hearts have no sense of honesty.
Too often, unjust stewards and liars, command attention calling for the
denial of truth. Accompanied by outbursts of rage when confronted,
their darkened conscience hates the light of truth that piercingly
burns through their lies. There is no honor as they run from the light
to hide in the shadows of their delusions. To remain silent when
knowing truth does dangerously tread on allowing the unrestricted
fanning of lies that are bent on destroying truth’s light.
In fearfulness, liars more often shamefully hide,
unwilling to confront those that would expose truth.
~ It would mean coming to the light.
The wounds from a liar can crush the chest and punch the stomach.
Liars can do nothing to improve a spirits wellbeing.
I've learned that if one lie does not work for a liar, he will just use another.
Concerning truth, if two people are at odds claiming each a liar,
there is only one liar and God is not fooled.
A liar invites his own induced darkness.
"... because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; ..." ~ Ezekiel 3:20
To remain righteous is a challenge
When a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity
🡦
Stumbling before him, he shall die
Because you did not give him warning
🡢 he shall die in his sin 🡠
his righteousness
shall not be remembered
but his blood I will require at your hand
It is said there are white lies, however, a snowflake is the beginning of an
avalanche. One commonality of liars is their ever increasing broadness
of embellishing the deception, to cover the original darkened hole.
A liar will personally attack and accuse one yet often fail to deny the truth.
Even the avalanche of an aluminum bat across the forehead,
will not curtail the spew of a wicked liar.
Truth does not teach fools whose desires remain desperate.
Freedom only arrives when standing for and in the truth.
"... and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul." ~ Ezekiel 3:21

More often than not, darkness chooses not to hear in the light
for their love and obsessive commitment to the lie(s).
Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth ... ~ Ephesians 4:25-32
Calm methodical truth sets all foundations
Let each one of you speak truth putting away lying

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. ~ 2nd Timothy 1:7

... "Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch?" ~ Luke 6:39
Many look for the truth.
Mentors are desired as the lost search for clarity in the truth of it all;
a monumental task. To believe a self-seeking liar is to reside in the ditch,
mired in the mud of false excuses and the damning greed of the evil.
To endorse incompetence diminishes the brilliance of truth.

For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men ... as bondservants of God. ~ 1st Peter 2:15-16

... having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. ~ 1st Peter 3:16
There are those who are obviously evil, with no doubt; prison hardened
criminals. Yet in our open society, it is a shame that supposedly good
cheerful people in business, politics, and the church, can be such
wicked pompous self-centered souls. Jealousy and envy too often inspire
backstabbing with deceptive gossip, when the insecure
proudly and desperately wish to exalt themselves.
People (liars) claim to be what they are not.
Psychotic anxiety and depression are widespread
where sociopathic lying is commonplace. Is life merely a neurotic
encounter of narcissistic lunacy assaults? The cosmic mud-puddle?
As a side note, I have long called this the Cosmic Penal Colony.
The heart of God seeks that we assume characteristics common with
the goodness spoken of, and taught, in the Holy Scriptures. Each soul is
responsible for these checks of upright spirit as we do have impact on one
another. It is a matter of building together or tearing apart. Either the fabric
is torn to shreds, or sewn and stitched wholesomely and cohesively.
Catering to the tolerances of man’s lies will not inhibit
the wrath of God upon the judgment of truth.
To acknowledge God and act upon His word, calling out for His help,
understanding, and forgiveness, ensures the strength of His purpose
will arrive. To find love is to leave hate and or regrets behind.
Hope is the hinge of forever.
God remains as the light of life for each of us. An eternal tunnel home
has been offered, for all who would hear and act, in the midst
of such a heinous world of hypocritical inaction.
God help us.
