Ephesians 4:14-16 teaches us how to avoid deception and to learn to speak the truth in the love. In a culture that cleverly deceives and perpetuates self-justification by constantly feigning outrage, how do we become people who truly can speak to one another in ways that build up?

2. “When you flatten the ball, you
wreck the team.”

3. ...so that we may no longer be
children, tossed to and fro by the
waves and carried about by every
wind of doctrine, by human cunning,
by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
Rather, speaking the truth in love, we
are to grow up in every way into him
who is

4. the head, into Christ, from whom the
whole body, joined and held together
by every joint with which it is
equipped, when each part is working
properly, makes the body grow so
that it builds itself up in love.
