Lisa's Devotional

Truth

Philippians 4:8 (NIV) Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

For the past few years I’ve thought about truth a lot. Our contemporary first-world culture is inundated with information. In societies that treasure personal rights, we extend that right to express ourselves, often in words that irritate and vehemently disagree with the expressions of others. Some of these disagreements we orchestrate for the purpose of distilling acceptable behavior—the “what if the shoe was on the other foot” debate. Other disagreements, the ones that wear blinders while looking down from podiums, expose our souls much like the restless evil of our tongues.

Paul saw truth positively and listed with other positive essences: noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, praiseworthy. He asks us to think on these things, to keep them close, to instill them in our minds and hearts. If these qualities become natural, what other choice is there but to respond to life through this magnificent lens?

I’m pleased to take part in a series of novellas that expand upon each of the qualities in Paul’s letter to the Philippian church, chapter 4:8. My story shows us how truth impacts our lives. When our romantic couple, Danny and Shelly (who met in the first novella, Everything About You), are ready to take their relationship to the next level, secrets and lies dodge their journey, trying to trip them up. Truth must go hand in hand with faith and trust. Only when we meld these qualities can we permit truth, spoken in love, the power to heal.

If my truth is not your truth, what do we do? My answer is to examine the source of our truth and look for common ground. As Christians I want to believe that we stand on one unshakeable truth: Jesus died, Jesus rose, Jesus will come again. Everything else is pretension.



About Lisa's New Release, Everything About Us

Danny Winston, America's newest heartthrob, thinks he can have it all—his dream business and the girl. He's sure he can convince Shelly, the woman who made it all possible, to marry him. When things keep going wrong, Danny can't ask her to be a partner in failure.

Shelly Colter isn't sure she can give up her California-style life with all the glamour, for a move to quaint, rural Wisconsin. At first, she thought Danny, her leading-man protégé, was all she needed, but when things get serious, her secret might ruin everything.

When Danny and Shelly realize they have a common enemy thwarting their dreams, they can choose to fight for each other or risk losing out to fear. It's an epic he-thinks, she-thinks, with the truth somewhere in between. Will they stop worrying about everything beyond their control and rely on God first, then each other?

Loree will be giving away a copy of her new book, Beautiful Bandit . To enter to win leave your email address with a comment.I'll put the names on pieces of paper and have my husband draw one on Monday night, July 5th. Hi Loree, first tell us a little about yourself. Before I do that, I’d like to take just a moment and thank Gail for inviting me to her blog. It’s an honor and a joy to be here! A little about me, hmm? Well, I have brown eyes and blondish hair, I’m 5’1” tall, and weigh…. Thank the Lord those tidbits aren’t what you’re looking for! My dad worked for the Veterans Administration, so the family lived in a slew of cities. I held a myriad of careers to pay my way through school, and all that working and moving is probably responsible for my ability to talk to just about anybody, anywhere. For the past 20 years, though, I’ve lived in the same house and worked at the same job: Writing. And I love both. Being a people person is definitely a plus. Were you an avid reader as a ...
