Now isn't the time for flattery

It's disgusting to hear a person butter up someone and it's not pleasant whenever you overhear flattery. 

Now is not the time for that. With everything going on in our country and across the world it's time to be true to who you are and what you stand for. 

"You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed - God is our witness."

(1 Thessalonians  2:5)

Flattery is phony and it's a false cover-up for a person's real intentions. Christians should not be flatterers. Those who proclaim God's truth have a special responsibility to be honest.

Are you honest and straightforward in your words and actions? Or do you tell people what they want to hear in order to get what you want to get ahead? 

Right now...more than ever it's easy to take sides. Mask? No mask? Etc. Etc.

If you are someone who has gotten into the trap of just telling people what they want to hear.. I would encourage you to change the trajectory you are on immediately. The people who are the most respected, admired, and influential are those who are honest and straightforward with their actions and words.

More than ever...we need to stand up for what we believe in and honor the one true King...Christ Jesus.
