truth

"and the truth will set you free"

It is interesting how scared we humans seem to be of truth. For all our puffed up ego-centric ideologies, we really don't like to see the truth fully. The idea of looking at ourselves and being honest with what we see scares us silly.

I recently read an article that suggested that the SDA church had some areas of improvement to make. I was amazed at the backlash. The article was not attacking the church but merely showing areas that had proven to be weak. People were quick to be critical saying that "we shouldn't be critical of the church". why not?

Is the truth in our midst too much?
"I am the truth" (John 14:6)

Perhaps with the right spin on the truth we could handle it better. But is the truth still the truth after it is spun?
