When Truth Perishes

Sep 7, 2025    Pastor Chris Eshleman

In this powerful exploration of truth and integrity, we delve into the book of Jeremiah, examining a society on the brink of collapse due to widespread deceit. The prophet's words resonate deeply with our modern world, challenging us to consider the devastating impact of dishonesty in our personal lives and communities. We're reminded that God values truth above all else, and that our relationship with Him is intrinsically linked to how we treat our neighbors. The parallel drawn between ancient Judah and our current culture is striking, urging us to reflect on how we might be contributing to a 'culture of lies' in our daily interactions. As we contemplate Jeremiah's weeping over his people, we're called to examine our own hearts and recommit to living lives of authenticity and transparency, even when it's difficult. This message compels us to be bold truth-tellers in a world that often rewards deception, reminding us that our integrity is a powerful testimony to our faith.
