TRUTH IN LOVE

Your kingdom is built on what is right and fair. Love and truth are in all you do.

Psalm 89:14

The single most difficult pursuit is truth and love.

That sentence is grammatically correct. I know every English teacher would like to pluralize it to read: The most difficult pursuits are those of truth and love. But that’s not what I mean to say.

  • Love is a difficult pursuit.
  • Truth is a tough one, too.


But put them together, pursue truth and love at the same time and hang on baby, you’re in for the ride of your life.

Love in truth. Truth in love. Never one at the expense of the other. Never the embrace of love without the torch of truth. Never the heat of truth without the warmth of love.…

To pursue both is our singular task.

Today's Scripture in Context

Note: Today is election day in Mississippi. Many have fought and died to provide and protect our right to choose our leaders. I encourage you to go to the polls and exercise this right … choose wisely … choose the men and women who will lead with godly faith. Pray without ceasing as you vote. Choose leaders who will pursue truth in love.
