It is vitally important that we search out the truth and then speak the truth. Don’t just think up ideas and take them as being the truth. Search out Jesus and dig into the Word of God. Stop just listening to the words of man.

LORD, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;
who despises a vile person
but honors those who fear the LORD;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
Whoever does these things
will never be shaken.
–Psalm 15
_____________________________________
You who practice deceit,
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
–Psalm 52

Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
–Proverbs 12

There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court
and detest the one who tells the truth.
–Amos 5

These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; do not plot evil against each other, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this,” declares the LORD.
–Zechariah 18
(That whole “declares the Lord” thing means THIS IS IMPORTANT, SHUTUP AND LISTEN)

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
–John 3

AHHH…The ultimate Truth. Jesus.
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will knowmy Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
–John 14

All this just to tell you, Do not shy away from speaking the truth! I believe you could change a life.
