2 Cor. 4:1-2 We do not address it near as much as we should. Let us call attention to it right now. The “hidden things of shame” dishonesty and much more can ruin your life. Be careful to make sure that your life is void of such atrocities. We need to make sure we have renounced them in our lives. Make sure to pray that the saints may live honorable lives. (Heb. 13:18) Pray that honesty be on the tip of all the kingdoms tongues. Let us be sure to pray for those in authority so that we may live lives that reflect traits such as honesty. (1 Tim. 2:1-2)

Acts 6:3 Every Christian should be known for honesty. The first deacons possessed honesty. Honesty is encompassed in a good reputation. You cannot separate the two. We must have regard for good things in the sight of all men. (Rom. 12:17)  When we do not we cannot be a light. If we are not a light people will not see our good works and praise God. (Matt. 5:16) We must provide honorable things in the sight of both the Lord and men. (2 Cor. 8:21) We are called by honesty and truth, to the Lord. We serve the most honest being in the universe. We must reflect such honesty in our lives.

Luke 8:15 We see by the parable of the sower those that are good soil react. They react to the truth by keeping it and bearing fruit. They did this with a noble and good heart. This a powerful picture that is painted with few words. They must have been honest to have such great success.  There had to be honesty for the truth is honest. We often use “white” lies to soften the blow. Practicing such communication is not honesty.   Let us be as honest as the word.
