Speaking the Truth in Love

Sermon by Bill Onisick

Appropriating the reflective Water Mirror in Bordeaux as a metaphor of how the heart mirrors the soul (Proverbs 27:19), this message teaches that our speech reveals the true condition of our hearts before Almighty God. Although we have been created in God's image, our immersion in sin gravely distorts that image like ripples in still water. It is only through emulating our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through the work of God's Holy Spirit can we be restored to reflect His perfect nature. Throughout the scripture (Matthew 12, Ephesians 4, and James), we learn that even truthful words can be brandished as tools of destruction when delivered with pride or malice. Godly speech flowing from a pure heart reflects the light of Christ, bringing unity and healing. God's called-out saints must reject sarcasm, gossip, hash tone, and critical or demeaning commentary regardless of whether it is written or implied, leaving public correction to the ministry. We need to take care as to how we use social media, too often a platform for assassination of character. Our words are not merely sounds, but instead spiritual evidence of who we really reflect—the evil darkness of the flesh or the godly light of Christ. Let us remember that what we say will reflect the corruption of carnal human nature. Our transformation does not consist merely in what we believe, but how we speak with love, humility, and edifying our spiritual siblings.
