A small dry goods store in a small rural town was visited by a man from the state’s weight and measures department. He found the yardstick being used to sell fabric was one inch short. “That’s impossible!” said the owner. “That yardstick was used by my dad and grandfather. They would not have cheated anyone! They were honest, Christian men.”

The inspector paused for a second and then said, “Sir, I’m sure your father and grandfather were honest. In fact, they were so honest what do you think they would have done if they had made this discovery?” Without hesitation, the owner said, “They would have made it right …and that’s what I’m going to do.”

Often people will not accept plain Bible teaching because it is NOT what their parents believed. What do you think those honest parents would have done if they had learned the truth? Will you do any less?

Proverbs 23:23 says, “Buy truth, and do not sell it.” A precious commodity like truth should be valued at all costs!
