Speaking with Truth AND Grace - Ask Us Anything - Ep.119
In this episode, Pastor Derek explores key theological questions about wisdom, morality, and the power of speech through the lens of Solomon’s life, Jesus’s teachings, and the Psalms. He explains that biblical wisdom is dynamic—not a permanent status—and that Solomon, though wise, lacked consistent moral integrity. Integrity, he notes, is about wholeness and honesty before God rather than sinlessness. The discussion then turns to the power of words: while words can be violent when used to harm, speaking truth in love is central to Christian character. Jesus modeled this balance perfectly, combining truth and grace even when confronting sin. The episode concludes with reflections on imprecatory psalms, emphasizing that believers must entrust judgment to God, praying either for their enemies’ repentance or for divine justice—always with love rather than vengeance.
