Setting The Record Straight

Setting The Record Straight We could all stand to take time to reexamine what and who’s behavior we condone. Our acceptance, silence and actions are forms of condoning another’s actions. Granted many situations may be beyond our control. But should that give rise for us to participate or reap benefits when a situation has disrespect, dishonor and judgment written all over it? What we do and do not say, and what we support are reflections of our morals, values and character. Let us all leave good unswerving tracks so that others may follow on an honorable path. Let us use good words and works to support just causes that equally denounce our support of less than worthy things or unjust acts by people. Let us be always truthful, showing compassion with a devout heart and sacred spirit. Although one may be waiting to catch us in something we might say, let us not give them a foot to stand on. Whether you are a witness to the present, or have knowledge of the past, know that with your first hand experience, The Holy Spirit inside you and knowledge of God’s word and power you can set the record straight. Luke 11:47-54 Jesus said: "Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed. So you are witnesses and approve of the deeds of your ancestors; for they killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,' so that this generation may be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against this generation. Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering." When he went outside, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile toward him and to cross-examine him about many things, lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say.
