Don’t Deprive me of Truth

By Napoleon BlackTEXT: Psalm 119:43

Never take your word of truth from my mouth, for I have put my hope in your laws. NIVDon't ever deprive me of truth, not ever—your commandments are what I depend on. Message

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I hope in Your ordinances. Amp.

COMMENTARY

Truth is a precious word. “Don’t deprive me of truth,” says the Psalmist. In our own country at this time there is much discussion about truth. There is the pursuit to find the truth about a certain matter. But what is being sought after?

There is a point of reference for truth. It is the Word of God. There are things that are factual, non-negotiable, and certain. According to the Word of God, deception is deception, sophistry is sophistry, and dishonesty is just that. There are no shades, no hues – truth is naked.


The Psalmist then says, “I put my hope in your word.” Christian hope is not the hope that is a possibility, but rather hope which is a certainty based on the promises of God. The truth is, God’s Word is honourable. He will keep His word. His word is based on the integrity of His character. He will never lie.

Something to meditate on
Truth is based on the integrity of God.

A decision I need to make
Have I been truthful in the things that God sets before me?

Time To Major In The Minors

Let's   Major In The Minors - Rev. Teddy A. Jones Published Nov. 30, 2018 by TLZ Publishers. 110 Pages Available in Paperback and Kindle on Amazon .  Major In The Minor s! You saw that right, "Let's Major In The Minors". The popular advice, and contextually good advice, is "Stop Majoring In The Minors!" This book reverses the script by challenging us to debunk the notion that the brevity of the 5 books of the Bible that have only chapter relegates them to a lesser place of importance. These books though 'minor' contain major messages. In fact this is an invitation to ponder the idea that given their brevity there is a clue to be pursued.   The pearl inside this oyster is the fact the weighty theological themes and Biblical core matters they highlight indicate clearly to us their importance to God who inspired the writers.   In other words, it is as though God said, "I have one chapter to send a clear message about my nature a

The Wheat and the Tares

Typically Jesus taught in parables. One of those has to with the labourers reporting to the master that they had gone to inspect the fields and they found that the wheat that they had laboured to plant had been contaminated by tares that appear to have been sown during the night by a ruthless enemy. I have never seen a wheat or a tare plant, but what is clear is that they had a striking morphological resemblance. S much so that unless one painstakingly scrutinized them, he/she could unintentionally destroy a wheat plant thinking it was a tare. I am still in the hermeneutical process with this passage to arrive at the precise meaning behind this parable. What i will say at this juncture is that a cursory examination of the church will certainly cause one to seriously question the validity of the discipleship of some members. There seems to be in every congregation some persons who have all the external trappings of a genuine disciple yet they are a constant source of problems in t
