Have you thought about that?
Why do some people coast through life? Its because they embrace truth. They stick to it like glue. They don’t waver, they don’t change. They let their intelligence deal with problems. But there is another way to approach challenges.
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you consider sin? Most folks think of the worst stuff there is, then pronounce their own behavior as acceptableand sometimes successful. They sweep indiscretions under the rug. I do it all the time myself. Lifehas gotten extremely tough as I have gotten older. As I go through each day, I notice that my behavior has started to prompt an examination of how I approach communication.
At a certain point in my married life, it because much easier to shut myself down when arguments would flare up. I would turn off my jets, and just tell my wife that I was tired or that I was not in the mood to talk. There was a big problem with that! I was cutting her off from real information that would have improved our relationship.I was using what some folks call a white lie.
We hit twelve years together this year. My biggest regret is that I have not been as upfront with Kelly as I could have been. At the same time, I have slowly but surely set up a political policy for our relationship.
The number one goal? To never schedule a lie.
Folks, the devil is waiting for it. He is chomping his jaws, salivating, smiling....just waiting for you to start a policy of scheduling lies for certain situations. What’s the problem with that? The abyss it creates! The chain of lies grows and grows. It always spins out of control unless it is reigned in by a sincere relationship with the Christ.
I want to hear from you if you feel you have started going down that road. If you have a policy of lies....message me. I havesome very important information for you that can create a u-turn in your life.
Why do I do this? Why should I NOT do this? This is the most important goal any Christian should have. Start using your faith as a sounding board for friends that have this problem. It is incredibly important work and I would love to help you if you need it!
