9.2-Do you speak the language of truth in your home or is it just truth about others instead of yourself?
9.2-
Luke 15.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.

As followers of Jesus, we love sinners.
We love trying to reach them when they are lost.
We love spending time in their home with their other friends
who are also sinners as we all are.
As followers of Jesus, are we seeking change for improvement
in our hearts?
We seek lost coins and rejoice when they are found. We seek lost pets and rejoice when they are
found. We pray for lost kids when they
leave our home. We rejoice, if they decide to come home. What kind of life does God give us that they
might encourage them to want to come home?
What kind of self-righteousness, which is really unrighteousness, would
keep them from ever coming home to us?
Are we ready to be a family who speaks the language of truth?
