Has anybody ever told a lie to you? Have you ever been untruthful about something too? In today’s epistle reading, Saint Paul writes, “Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature and have put on the new nature.” Saint Paul knew that “Do not lie” was one of the Ten Commandments. And in the epistle, he tells others who were new to Christianity not to lie too. When we read the epistle, we know that Saint Paul is telling us today not to lie too.
As Christians, we always want to try to be more like our Lord, Jesus Christ. We know that God is always truthful. Jesus even said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” God is Truth, because He is always truthful and honest. What we hear from Him is always right. Read more and download activities.
THE NEW MARTYRS OF RUSSIA
Is it easy to be a Christian? Sometimes, people try to tell us that life is fun and easy if we just follow Christ. But when we read the lives of the saints, it sure doesn’t seem that way! So many of them were poor and uncomfortable during their lives. So many of them were made fun of. So many of them were even killed just for being Christians.
We celebrate these saints on Sat. Jan. 25th (Feb. 7, OC).
