Two Truths and a Lie

Two Truths & a Lie
June 28, 2020
 

I have never broken a bone.
I love rollercoasters.
I’ve traveled to Antarctica.

Of those three statements, two are true and one is a lie.

Two Truths and a Lie is a popular party or icebreaker game. The point of the game is to get to know the people playing a little better. In turn, each person makes three statements about themselves, two of them true, and one being a lie. The other players then try to guess which “fact” is false. Often, it can be challenging to discern which of the statements is true and which one isn’t!

This week, in our study of 1st Corinthians, we’re in the first half of chapter 15. We’re getting close to the end of Paul’s letter to the young church at Corinth. After focusing much of his attention on encouraging the Corinthian believers to live out their faith more consistently, Paul now begins to emphasize and reinforce a foundational truth of their faith in Christ. Upon this truth, their faith stands firm or falls flat; and Paul wants to make sure that they are solid in their understanding of it! This truth is essential for us as well, as we navigate a world that is overflowing with half-truths and outright lies.

 

Oh…and just so you know…I really haven’t ever broken a bone, and rollercoasters are one of my absolute favorite things. And as much as I believe penguins need Jesus too, in all my traveling, I haven’t made it to Antarctica…yet.
