Why is truth-telling so important? University of Louisville men’s basketball coach, Rick Pitino, publicly apologized to his family, friends and players for having an extra-marital affair six years ago. At his press conference this week, Patino disclosed his regrettable indiscretion and said “When you have a problem, if you tell the truth, your problem becomes a part of your past. If you lie, it becomes a part of your future.” Sure, it was very painful for him to tell the truth and will be tough to win back the trust of his wife and family, but it would have been even more painful, agonizing and debilitating to continue to live a lie. What are you hiding from your spouse? What’s that dark secret that has been eating away at the depths of your soul? An affair? Pornography? Gambling or alcohol addiction? Bring to light what’s hidden in darkness. Tell the truth…it will set you free.
