  deeds are evil

  the Truth (John 1837)

My plea

• Let the truth tell the truth about you.
• C.f. James 314 49-10
• Being false to the truth is doing what Pilate
  did not letting the truth speak to you.
• Being TRUE to the TRUTH. Let it tell the truth
  about you, and respond accordingly with
  humility that you may come to the cross and be
  healed.
