God is not capable of lying

What a bizarre statement from a human perspective. I lie, you lie and we all do so why assume that God would be any different. There is a core issue that we are facing here as we look at the topic of God’s total truthfulness. The issue is that God is everything that we are not. He is pure, He is perfect, He always acts within his character and He is unique compared to you and me. One of those strands of His outstanding character is His total truthfulness.

It is often helpful to compare translations of the Bible to understand a text. Modern versions translate Tit.1.2 as ‘God does not lie’. Older versions usually say he ‘cannot lie’. Which is correct you might be asking? Strong’s Concordance’ says that the word for lie has a negative particle in front of it to indicate that God is not capable of lying. Robertson’s Word Pictures says that the statement really means that God is the ‘non lying God’. God is not in the business of lying, it is out of character for Him and he just does not do it.

What does this mean for me? It means that I can trust everything God has ever said. It means that every time I pick up my bible to read or a verse comes into my mind that I can say to my self – this is the truth, I can rest on this! Image the effect that this has on my Bible reading.

If the truth of this really grips you it will strengthen your faith in God. It will make you more obedient. It will build your confidence. It will fix your eyes on heavenly things and not on the earth.

You’ll have a good day after thinking this one through.

Williamson Square, Liverpool, UK

This was the scene today in Williamson Square, Liverpool City Centre. We were running our twice weekly street meeting (you might spot me preaching beside the band stand). The Vision Express Vision Van was out to raise awareness of sight problems.

The bible says that we all have sight problems. The old saying goes "there are none so blind as those who will not see". The gospel was preached to 'open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive the forgiveness of sins" (the Bible - Acts 26:18).

The question is: are we so blind that we cannot see that God is the creator and the judge? Do we refuse to see that we all do wrong and are guilty before God? Have we closed our eyes and our minds to the truth that God loves us and sent His Son to be the Saviour of the world.

I am praying that you will pick up a bible today (you can also access one on the internet - to read an internet bible click here) and read, slowly, thoughtfully and honestly about the offer of salvation that God is making to you. The offer will not always be available and you will not always be in the right state to accept it.

Liverpool Town Hall - The Jewel in the Crown

I am always amazed at the variety of buildings that you come across in Liverpool. In recent years with the regeneration and renaissance of the city a number of well designed and attractive modern buildings have been constructed in the city centre. They are pleasant to look at and I assume eco friendly in their construction and use of energy.

However one thing that you cannot miss in the city is the classic buildings. I am told that after London, Liverpool has the most listed buildings of any city in the UK. The picture in today's blog is the Town Hall. Come inside and discover the elegance of a past generation - they really knew how to build (inside and out) in those days. Glorious days of style and craftsmanship. I find it very pleasing to the eye and senses.

The God of heaven is interested in things that are well made. After he had created the world he sat back and looked at everything that he had made and his final assessment was this - it is very good (Genesis ch 1). The world isn't in the condition that it was when first made. Sin, wrong and evil have distorted it in every sense - morally, physically, environmentally etc. Hebrews  ch 1 in the bible states that things are not as they were at the beginning. It goes on to say that 'we see Jesus made a little lower than the angels..... for the suffering of death". God became man to sort out the mess of our world. The ultimate sacrifice was made to rectify what had gone wrong in our world. Hebrews ch 1 goes on to say that he (Jesus) 'by the grace of God' would 'taste death for everyone'. 

Here is the amazing truth. We spend millions to restore buildings to their former glory. It is worth it to retain the glory and splendour of the craftsmanship. God does the same - he spared not His own Son but delivered him up for us all so that we might know the restoring and forgiving grace of God in our lives.
