From:
Addictions, A Banquet in the Grace
by Edward T. Welch
The bad new in this is that the light exposes our guilt and shame. The good news is that the fear of the Lord exposes us without leaving us shamed, forever guilty, and powerless to change. Rather it exposes us in order to cover our shame, cleanse the guilty conscience, give grace to change and restore fellowship with God and others. (p. 181-182)
...
Truth is a cornerstone in the kingdom of God. Think for a moment about the alternative. What if God lied at just one point? Even if it were just a small deception, everyone who puts his trust in Christ would be without hope. If he is not absolutely faithful and true, our faith is foolishness. Truth is essential in the way God relates to us. (P. 183)
