Sunday, January 31st. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

A small boy was on the witness stand in an important lawsuit. The prosecuting attorney cross-examined him, then delivered, he thought, a crushing blow to the testimony. “Your father has been telling you how to testify, has he not?” “Yes,” the lad replied and did not hesitate with the answer. “Now,” said the lawyer triumphantly, “just tell us how your father told you to testify.”

“Well,” the boy said modestly, “Father told me the lawyers would try to tangle me in my testimony, but if I would just be careful to tell the truth, I could repeat the same thing every time.”

This is such a good example to us it needs no additional comment. Leviticus 19:11 even lumps it into the same category as stealing with these words,

“Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.”

"God, guard our heart to speak and share the truth.
Amen."

Speak the truth always.
