Flattering Lips and Faithful Words | Finding Truth in Psalm 12
About this episode
When honesty feels rare and everyone seems to be spinning their version of the truth, Psalm 12 hits close to home. David’s cry—“Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth”—could just as easily describe our times. In this episode, we explore how this short but piercing psalm contrasts the empty promises of people with the flawless reliability of God’s word.
We’ll look at the psalm’s ancient wisdom about the danger of smooth talkers and self-serving pride, then connect it to today’s challenges: misinformation, manipulation, and moral fatigue. You’ll learn how to anchor your character in integrity, trust God’s tested truth over popular opinion, and find peace in a world where words are often used as weapons.
