Something you’ve probably heard before is "the truth hurts". Now this may be true, but stop and think for a minute how perverse and far from the Lord we must have strayed to have arrived at such a phrase entering into common use. In a more perfect world, the truth ought never to be hurt. Only in a world filled with lies, concealment and falsehoods that is something truly threating or painful. As believers in Christ, we ought not fear the truth but welcome it, not hide from it as has become the custom, but face it with courage.
