Quotes about Truth

A life without attachment and stress can give you the freedom to see things as they are and call them as you see them.

We can be frozen by the chaos we feel inside instead of choosing to stand on the truth of who God's Word says we are. We must not give our enemy such advantages. We must not live that way one moment longer. It's time to trade what we feel for the powerful truth of who we are. How we feel can change in a moment, but who we are is eternal.

God didn't give us His Word to use like a weapon or some kind of Hallmark card we can pass across the fence and keep some distance. It is a weapon, but one designed for use against our enemy, not against our sisters. It is meant for encouragement, not for pat answers in the midst of real pain. Just because something is true doesn't mean you must voice that truth in all circumstances.

I know it all, and I still love you. That is the convicting, convincing, liberating truth that comes from an encounter with Christ: all is known; there is no need to pretend anymore. I wrestled with that truth. It's hard to lay aside a mask when it looks just like you, and you have worn it for so long that you can't remember what you look like without it.

It is much more difficult to deal with the truth about your life when you have no idea that you have feet of clay and it suddenly begins to rain.

One day we will all stand alone and answer to God for the choices we have made in our lives. It will not be enough to say we did not get help because no one would come with us. Life is not easy, but we make it much more difficult when we refuse to be honest about what we feel. For the short term, not being honest may seem easier, but in the long haul, we pay a heavy price.

The greatest defense against the storm of lies that the enemy would use to drain every moment of joy from your life is to surround yourself with the truth of God's Word.

Our business, whatever comes, is to continue to believe and follow Jesus, certain that a divine blessing is coming our way. In the middle of the worst storm imaginable, we tie ourselves heart and soul to the mast of the truth of God's promise that disappointment will lead to hope. It's not that we won't hear the screeches of the enemy's lies in the night, but we will refuse to chart our course by them.

I was learning the truth: though I felt lonely and scared, I was the well-loved girl of God. And though these feelings of loneliness were familiar, I was coming into an understanding: just because a place has become familiar doesn't mean its where you belong.

When God is in sharp focus, then life is also undistorted.

I'm a truth seeker. That's what I do every day on the show - put out the truth. Some people don't like it, they call it sensational, but I say life is sensational.

I usually say what I really think. A great mistake nowadays. It makes one so liable to be misunderstood.
