Have you ever stretched the truth a bit?  Ever told a fib?  How about a white lie?  How about promises?  Ever broken a promise?  Ever told someone you’d do something and then not done it?  These questions push us into uncomfortable territory, don’t they?  These things and more have to do with our integrity.

 

Without apology, that’s where James takes us in James 5:12.  With a single verse, James points us in two directions.  First, he calls us to 1) Avoid Compromising the Truth.  Secondly, James encourages us to 2) Commit to Speaking the Truth. 

 

We should be people of such integrity that our words may simply be trusted.
