It’s much better to tell the truth than to compromise the truth and have someone believe a lie. If you truly love someone, you must be truthful—even if you know it means rejection.

Truth
Jim Jarman
Nothing in this world will ever change as long as the people of God remain silent and intimidated. As Christians we have a voice that needs to be seen and heard in the earth today. Everyone else is using theirs, so let’s use ours. Let our voice be seen and heard and stand up for what is right, moral, holy & godly. A voice of love, joy, peace and hope, not a voice of hate, chaos and destruction but a voice with Holy Spirit power & authority. A voice that is as bold as a lion. Speak up and speak out and live right.
Bethany Hicks
No person should trust their feelings above what they know is right or wrong, and they should never be chosen over what the word of God says or what the character and nature of God reveal. However, neither should we deny or suppress our feelings. Our feelings are one of our God-given receptors that can reveal His voice and heart.
Peter Marshall
No tabloid will ever print the startling news that the mummified body of Jesus of Nazareth has been discovered in old Jerusalem. Christians have no carefully embalmed body enclosed in a glass case to worship. Thank God, we have an empty tomb. The glorious fact that the empty tomb proclaims to us is that life for us does not stop when death comes. Death is not a wall, but a door.
Martin Luther King Jr
I still believe that standing up for the truth of God is the greatest thing in the world. This is the end of life. The end of life is not to be happy. The end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. The end of life is to do the will of God, come what may.
Kris Vallotton
The 21st-century Church has become increasingly obsessed with being popular to the point of changing the gospel to a palatable, powerless, passionless philosophy that requires NO lifestyle change of the Believer.

Theology 101: The question should never be, “Is this action leftist or right wing, liberal or conservative, socialist or capitalist?” The question should be, “Does this action love my neighbor, look out for their interest more than my own, and manifest the fruit of the spirit?”
Katherine Walden
Speak the truth always but do so with the heart posture to cause the least offence. Chose your words wisely. Even when the truth you share may be hard, let your words drip with humility and compassion.
Francis de Sales
While extremely sensitive as to the slightest approach to slander, you must also guard against an extreme into which some people fall who, in their desire to speak evil of no one, actually uphold and speak well of vice. If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God’s glory.

People need to feel welcome in our churches and accepted. Jesus accepted people right where they were at in life BUT He never left them there, He gave them the truth. This is what we must do as well, accept them, welcome them, and serve them the truth with love.
