Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. -Exodus 20:16

Good morning and TGIF! The straightforward nature of this commandment can sometimes cause its depth to be overlooked. At its simplest level, it speaks against falsehood. We live in an age where many feel pressured to affirm identities or ideas that do not reflect reality.

Identity is significant—it involves both who a person is and who they present themselves to be. These two should remain consistent.

Supporting someone in a belief that is untrue misleads them and can have serious, even eternal, implications. Our calling is to uphold truth, even in a culture clouded by confusion and deception. If someone insisted they were a puppy, you wouldn’t set out food and water bowls. If someone claimed to be a speed bump, you wouldn’t run over them.

Instead, you would lovingly guide them toward what is real, choosing not to reinforce what isn’t.

Go fellowship this weekend, we all need it.
