When Christians tell!

Lies?

Many started well, but over time they have returned to their old habits, we are nearly all guilty of this problem when sin raises its ugly head!

Many believers in power and in business are forced into positions of not telling the whole truth, if not down right lies? It happens everyday the world over and it is awful when the unbelieving world sees this terrible injustice and hypocrisy that they refuse the Good news message.

Fear of loss, of others, of loneliness, of bragging are all different forms of lying that may lead at times to more problems than any resolution of a already bad situation? The Disciple and Apostle Peter could talk and yet after all he had gone through with Jesus had to be a hypocrite in front of Paul?

Matthew 14:28-31, 16:22-23, 17:25-26, 26:69-75, Galatians 2:9-14, 2 Peter 1:1.

Easter. Part-Two.

Failure.

Many of the Disciples of Jesus believed that they could follow Him any where. Peter boasted about it, but Jesus warned him that he would deny him three times.  Matthew 26:31-35,  Mark 14:27-31,  Luke 22:31-34,  John 13:36-38.

We can all make claims to what we believe in, but when it has to cost us something, fear of man sets in and we all run away. Mark 14:50-51, John 18:15-18, 25-27.

This was just the beginning of a series of events that are part of the Easter Story, all of this was in the will of God.
