Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 26, 2025

In a world that thrives on lies, as children of God we must decide to follow Jesus who is the Truth. If we do not stand firm on the truth, we will find ourselves compromise with the lies of Satan, and making choices that are contradictory to the true values that God has set for us in His word.

We read in Philippians 4:8, Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
