Betrayal and rejection - none of us like these realities of life. In fact, we often try desperately to avoid them. Perhaps we faced rejection at an early age, either by parents and/or peers.

My Life Of Lies
We all deal with falsehoods. They come to us throughout life, and we are most impressed by them when we are young. Thankfully, we know the truth sets us free and in Christ we are free indeed (John 8:32). He begins to untangle the webs of deceit that so long entangled our hearts and minds. …
