I share this clip of President Clinton playing word games regarding his adulterous activity. Cheaters are known for the word games that they play. They will argue over the definition of many common words. What they mean and what you mean are often worlds apart. The tendency of cheaters to pervert the meanings of words means that you have to be careful in dealing with them. They may say the right words to you, yet it mean something very different that what you assumed.
This means that you needs to be clear on what the words mean to you and to them. For example, I once had a discussion with a pastor on the meaning of the phrase the “husband of one wife”. He took it to mean that the man only has one wife at a time, I took it to mean that the man had only been married once. Examples like this mean you need clarity in specifying what is being said, even from the pulpit.
Best Regards,

Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Ecc 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Better to humble oneself to learn what needs to be confessed and avoided in this life than to have to deal with it in the day when there is no repentance possible…
The twisting of truth …the denial of absolutes …the turning away from righteousness and wisdom is abounding today …there is little to evidence that we are close to the end….
If we long for the appearing of the Lord to be taken up and out before the wrath then we have little to regret if we have been following the Lord and seeking His cleansing and redemption.
Scarier to think of those who are unwilling to consider there is truth in Christ Jesus that is in no other.
361. Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me
Text: Augustus M. Toplady, 1740-1778
Music: Thomas Hastings, 1784-1872
Tune: TOPLADY, Meter: 77.77.77
1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
save from wrath and make me pure.
2. Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law’s commands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.
4. While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
