Pretty Words and a Smile

smiley - optimism

“A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.”
–Proverbs 19:9

Let the reader make no mistake: it is pretty words and a smile which is the REAL standard of the world.

NOT the truth.

Man prefers pleasantries and a comely countenance to a true account.

We live in a world where men scoff at the truth while bemoaning “All I hear is lies!

We live in times in which confusion reigns over whether to confront a lie–when one KNOWS it is a lie–IF told by someone who is “nice.”

We live in a society in which the “truth” is determined by the latest lie which is told.

We live in a culture in which it doesn’t really matter if men lie to one’s face–as long as they smile and say pretty words.

IS the reader soothed by those who speak soothing words–even when such words prove to be false?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
