Summary
This noble-sounding little statement has been around for a couple of decades but was popularized by Oprah Winfrey at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards. She stated, “Speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we have.” In all fairness, she was talking about those women who dared to speak up about being sexually harassed; however, the quip rapidly became a modern mantra for those who say absolute truth doesn’t exist, but that all truth is individual and comes from within.
I. We Should Know the Truth
II. We Should Guard the Truth
III. We Should Speak the Truth
Talk with God: Meditate on John 17:14-19 and ask the Lord to sanctify your life by the truth of His Word.
Talk with others: Ask your Connect Group how they stay “ready in season and out of season” (v. 2).
Talk with kids: Who can you share the gospel with?
