Truth Matters by Jerome Stewart 
Proverbs 12 vs. 19 says; “Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.” We need to understand that truth matters irrespective of the subject, the time period, or where it take us in this life. Proverbs 12 vs. 22 says; “Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, But those who deal truthfully are His delight.”
There are many people who cannot handle the truth of God’s word. Jesus was crucified for speaking the truth. He said to the Pharisees in John 8 vs. 43; “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.” Then Jesus took it a step further as to the root cause of their behavior and He was in rare form. Vs. 44 He says; “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand for truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources for he is a liar and the father of it.” Lying; is a demonic form of behavior. Vs. 45 Jesus says; “But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe Me.” Proverbs 23 vs. 23 says; “Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.” There is great concern about the behavior of people in leadership positions in this country, who will say anything to keep us divided. David referred to the people of God in Psalms 133 vs. 1. He says; “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!” This country needs to unite. Listen to the words of the Apostle Paul to the brethren in Romans chapter 12 vss. 17 and 18. “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.” Don’t drink today’s kool-aid of division! Psalms 34 vss. 13 and 14 says; “Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.”
Let’s come together again as a nation! America has a heart problem unlike the heart beating within our chest cavity. It’s the heart of the mind in need of spiritual resuscitation. We need to repent! We need God’s help; and that’s the truth.
