The Truth Most Of Us Won't Admit



The reason most of us don't consistently make better eating choices is because the bad stuff simply tastes better. Face it. When you're full and satisfied after a thanksgiving dinner, typically it's not because you just ate tofu and alfalfa sprouts! Many people, if they were to be honest, view a lifestyle of righteousness as good, but not as FUN, EXCITING, ON THE EDGE and ultimately SATISFYING as a life that is not as committed to righteousness. Truth is, God PROMISES satisfaction ... true satisfaction. Much of how we lived before Christ (and some of us after Christ) entailed us doing external things to fill an internal void that only God could fill. God created us. He KNOWS how to satisfy us. If you're still hungry or thirsty, you may just need to reassess what you're feeding on.

Matthew 5:6 - Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

'You Ain't Got To Lie, Craig' ... Signed, God


Being in church makes you a saint about as much as standing in a garage makes you a car. God desires intimacy with us. Too many of us brush ourselves off and put on dressy clothes to present our ‘Sunday Best’ to God and others every week only to go back to our ‘regular’ selves the moment we undress. Intimacy with God requires consciously exposing the good you AND the the not so good you. It’s relationship, not religion. God really CAN handle your truth.  Be Honest. He already knows anyway. Plus, truth will give you freedom from the bondage that 'fronting' currently has you under.
Psalm 51:6 – Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
