Yes, and amen

But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. – 2 Corinthians 1.18-20

Paul did not believe in sending any kind of mixed message when he preached or wrote. He was very clear cut so that nobody could misunderstand him.

Whenever we share the gospel it must be clear cut. It must be, as we saw yesterday, simple and sincere.

The Bible says that the a double minded man is unstable is all his ways. We must know what we believe and why we believe it. God’s word is true and we must be careful that we say in His name is true.

This doesn’t just apply to Bible truth. It applies to everything we say and all we do. Social media has made it is easy for us to post all kinds of lies and deceptions and half-truths. If we agree with something it is easy to pass it on without ever checking its veracity. The danger is that if we are willing to pass on lies in social media to suit our agenda it throws all of our words into question.
