THE WHOLE TRUTH
Today's reading: Acts 19-20

"I have done the Lord's work humbly--yes, and with tears, I have endured the trials that came to me from the plots of the Jews. Yet I have never shrank from telling you the truth, either publicly or in your homes." Acts 20:19-20 NLT

Paul tells us here that he did not mince words, sugar-coat the truth or provide his listeners with a feel-good account of the Gospel.

He told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth--by God's power.

I want to do the same.

By how I live.

By the advice I give.

By the stands I take.

By the leading of the Holy Spirit in my life, I want to present God's message of salvation and the need for repentance and turning from sin, to every one I meet--whether I think they want to hear it or not, whether they are well-liked or not, whether it goes completely against their lifestyle or personal choices.

We all need the whole Truth.
