CCL: Commanding the heart: Deception

Centre for Christian Living event on 24 August 2022, filmed in Marcus Loane Hall at Moore Theological College, Newtown, Sydney, Australia.

Speaker: Tony Payne

MC: Chase Kuhn.

Integrity seems almost mythical in our current culture. Suspicion runs deep—largely because of a history of lying and deception. At some points, our culture celebrates this sort of slight in order to gain the upper hand. This problem isn’t novel; we may use a variety of “guarantees” to back up our words—for example, “I swear …”, “On my mother’s grave …”, and so on. But often we fail to be people of our word.

However, Jesus says that Kingdom living leaves no room for deception. As recipients of _the_ truth, disciples must live a life of truth. Dr Tony Payne leads us to discover discipleship without deception.
