Truthiness

One thing I love is good ole fashioned sarcastic humor when done really well. There is no one better at it than Steven Colbert. A few years ago he invited this word "truthiness." Which basically means something that is sort of true or has elements of the truth in it.

I was thinking today that many of us have a truthiness sort of relationship with Jesus. We are sort of have a relationship with him. We sorta don't it depends on how much we need him at any given moment.

The Bible is pretty clear that "truthiness" isn't going to cut it. In fact, the Bible tells us that for those of us who call ourselves Christians we need to be either hot or cold. God won't except a lukewarm kind of faith or life. Just a reality check for all of us. Are you living a true life? Or a life full of "truthiness?"
