August 15-21, 2021
We are caught in an avalanche of information but very little truth. Deception, manipulation, and intimidation are common tactics in the current struggle for the future.
Truth begins with God. When we are disobedient or rebellious, we reject the truth and the freedom which it brings.

When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!”
