Defamation is defined in the dictionary as: The act of communicating false statements about a person that injure the reputation of that person : the act of defaming another.
De-Fame: This is to say… to take away the fame of a person.
As believers, we are called to bear testimony to our God. We are called to represent Him well. And yet, too often, we misrepresent Him by what we say of what we do. We defame Him.
The tenth commandment tells us to not ber any false witness, and yet, in our ignorance we often do that against our redeemer. We do this by having the wrong understanding of who He is and what He is all about. We do this because of our limited and flawed understanding. Either we portray Him to be all about grace and love, or we go to the other extreme and make Him out to be all about justice, truth, and judgment. But God is prefectly balanced in all these things.
In this episode, we'll explore how we, as believers, misunderstand God, misrepresent Him, and end up paying the price.
