Living the Truth

A Five-Part Series on Building Godly Character in Everyday Life

In a world that relentlessly shapes hearts and minds through its shifting values, "Living the Truth" is a powerful five-part series that calls believers to anchor their lives in the unchanging Word of God. Drawing on years of experience in education and ecclesial life, Bro. Al Walker combines personal reflection, scriptural insight, and practical counsel to help families, individuals, and communities embody the gospel in every sphere of life—from the home to the workplace. Each lesson explores how to nurture godly character, raise children with intention, support one another in love, and stand firm in the face of moral erosion.

Lesson 1 – Living the Truth in the Home

A sobering look at the environment parents create for their children, this lesson explores the formative power of a child's early years and the subtle ways the world shapes them. It challenges families to actively counter cultural decay by building a home that reflects God’s standards, especially in a society increasingly desensitized to immorality and permissiveness.

Lesson 2 – The Responsibilities of Parenthood

With the examples of Hannah and Eli, this lesson draws a striking contrast between faithful and negligent parenting. It calls parents to raise children not merely for themselves, but for God—to instill values that endure. It also reaffirms that the home must be a place where God’s Word is taught daily, not just spoken but lived.

Lesson 3 – Holding Fast in the Face of Disappointment

This lesson confronts the painful reality when children or spouses do not accept the truth, despite a faithful upbringing. Through Scripture and personal stories, it encourages steadfastness, patience, and unwavering faith—reminding us that God gives the increase, even when outcomes are uncertain.

Lesson 4 – Living the Truth in the Ecclesia

This session examines how believers should serve within the ecclesia—especially those in leadership. It outlines the biblical qualifications and responsibilities of arranging brethren, deacons, elders, and their families. It stresses the importance of hospitality, humility, and genuine love, while cautioning against gossip, pride, and favoritism.

Lesson 5 – Living the Truth at Work (and with the Erring Brother)

This final lesson spans two vital topics: first, how to lovingly address error within the ecclesia, and second, how to live faithfully in the secular workplace. It emphasizes the duty to uphold the truth with compassion and wisdom, and urges believers to reflect Christ in their professional lives—where character, integrity, and work ethic all speak volumes.
