Courage

Courage to Tell the Truth

"Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor."
Ephesians 4:25

Reflection

Lying is the shortest and most expensive road. Telling the truth costs something now and saves a lot later.

Prayer

God, give me courage to always tell the truth. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Why does lying seem easier at first?
  2. What does lying cost later?
  3. When did telling the truth take courage?

5-minute activity

Play "two truths and a tale": each person tells three things, and the others guess which is false. Then talk about why trust matters at home. Read Ephesians 4:25.
