there is one bad word at the end of this clip of you are able to see it, but I have left the time in because it is needed for this clip to actually serve the purpose i wanted it to.

what is the cost of being honest? I am not going to write a long devotional, I'm not working from a specific point. I am simply asking the question what does it take to change yourself and admit that you are wrong. Man by nature will not admit he is wrong. He will cover things up, He will, to use the detectives words, "F the truth" to save face and reputation. In the Garden of Eden this was mans action. He saw he was naked, and hid, he heard God walking in the garden and he hid, God asked him what he had done and Adam talked about what the woman had done, who in turn talked about what the serpent had done. Well that was only the first generation right? No look at Cain, he didn't do any better, he passed the blame. Over and over again in the history of man you can see clearly that we try to cover our sin up. we do not wish to look bad in any way, we are too damn proud for that and so we will again, follow the detectives advice.

God's word says the truth will set you free, We are so looking for that, freedom. We dont wish to be held down in any way and when we feel that we are held down we become very depressed. Why not give in to the truth? why not confess we are broken, that we are unable to solve the problems, because we are too proud.

Man, on his own, is weak. Left to himself, he will always take the path of the deceit , and always hide from the truth
