Which Tire Was It?

READ: Acts 5:1-11

You have not lied to men but to God. —Acts 5:4

 
About this cover

One sunny day, four high school boys couldn’t resist the temptation to skip classes. The next morning they explained to their teacher that they had missed her class because their car had a flat tire. To their relief, she smiled and said, “Well, you missed a quiz yesterday.” But then she added, “Take your seats and get out a pencil and paper. The first question is: Which tire was flat?”

No one gets away with lying. In Acts 5, Ananias and Sapphira thought they were lying only to Peter and the other believers. But the apostle said to them, “You have not lied to men but to God” (v.4).

Truth is one of the attributes of God. So when we tell a lie, we offend Him. And sooner or later He will uncover every falsehood—if not in this life, then at the final judgment, when we each give an account of ourselves to God (Romans 14:10-12).

We live in a highly competitive world, and sometimes we may be strongly tempted to shade the truth to get ahead. But the short-term gains from lying are worth little compared with the long-term benefits of telling the truth.

If you have deceived someone, confess it to that person and to the Lord. It may be humbling, but it’s the first step to restoring integrity in your life. —Dennis J. De Haan

The road that leads to misery
Is caused by a tongue that wags;
Beware of lying lips, my friend,
And a mouth that boasts and brags.  —Shade

If you always tell the truth, you will never be trapped in a lie.

Heya Snippy, I'm doing much better today, thank you for asking. Though not quite well enough to go to the Renaissance festival. I apparently had a fever all day yesterday and slept it off overnight. It got up to 101.1 which was not as high as bittygirl's (102.0). karateboy is now exhibiting a 99.5 degree fever himself. He isn't acting sick, aside from sneezing every-once-in-a-while, which I guess is a good thing.

Ah, the joys of parenthood... You love your kids, you get their aches (and colds/flu/whatever-it-is)

Bittygirl has figured out how to get out of her crib without making the telltale thump/cry or hurting herself. She is now ~stealth baby~ . She has also figured out how to use her trike as a stool to get water from the fridge dispenser. I caught her yesterday using a chair to get to the candy dish on a bookshelf. You should see her knees and shins! LOL, she has bruises from all the trial and error on her part.

“Good Buddy”

READ: John 15:9-17

You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. —John 15:14

The congregation listened intently as the pastor began to pray: “Dear heavenly Father . . .” Suddenly he was interrupted by a voice saying, “Hey there, good buddy!”

Everyone began to laugh when they realized the voice was coming from the organ. It was picking up the conversation of a truckdriver on his CB radio! Not much was accomplished in the service that day, because the congregation continued to chuckle about the voice that made them think God was responding to their pastor and calling him His “good buddy.”

Moses knew what it was like to be a friend of God—a relationship that went beyond buddies. The Lord often talked with Moses “face to face, as a man speaks to his friend” (Exodus 33:11). The patriarch Abraham was also called God’s friend (2 Chronicles 20:7).

But can you and I be a friend of God? In our Bible reading for today, Jesus, the supreme example of loving friendship, called His disciples friends (John 15:13,15). He put it simply: “You are My friends if you do whatever I command you” (v.14).

And what does He command? That we love Him with all our heart and love others as ourselves (Mark 12:30-31). That’s how we can be God’s friend. —Anne Cetas

Friendship with Jesus,
Fellowship divine,
Oh, what blessed, sweet communion,
Jesus is a friend of mine.  —Ludgate

The dearest friend on earth is but a mere shadow compared to Jesus.  —Chambers

Glad to hear you're doing better. Bittygirl as stealth baby, lol. I think her motto must be "if there is a will, there will be a way"!
