Today GCWM Meeting, Discipleship Room, 2:00 p.m.
When I was a child there was one behavior that my parents simply would not tolerate from me and my siblings and that was lying. As a matter of fact my mother would always say, “Son, if you lie then you will no sooner steal.” I didn’t quite understand what she meant back then, but as I got older, I quickly came to realize the wisdom in her words. To lie is in essence robbing yourself as well as others of the privilege and opportunity of knowing and possibly accepting what is true. In today’s message, we will take a look at just how important this thing called truth really is in the life of the Christian, so important in fact, that Jesus described truth not merely as a statement of fact that is to be shared, but a reality that is to be lived.

Summary of our Beliefs The Bible is the inspired word of God and our only rule of faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17). Jesus Christ is the Divine Son of God and our personal Savior from sin by grace through faith. (John 1:1-3; Ephesians 2:8). Having been saved, followers of Jesus live in obedience to Him by observing the Ten Commandments. (Exodus 20: 1-17; John 14:15). The Sabbath – the seventh day of the week- established by God at creation and honored by Jesus in His earthly ministry, is to be observed by the followers of Jesus. (Exodus 20:8-11; 1 Peter 2:21). Jesus is coming back to earth personally and visibly to raise the righteous dead and give His faithful children of all ages immortality in an earth made new. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; Revelation 22:12; 21:1-3).
