Truth & Knowledge: Episode 14 – "Have Mercy": In this episode, Trey Knowles teaches the importance of having mercy—both for ourselves and for others. Mercy means showing compassion and forgiveness for mistakes, while its opposite, malice, involves harboring ill will or wishing harm, even towards oneself. Choosing mercy over malice is essential, as malice reflects a desire to do evil, which contradicts the nature of love. Love does not take pleasure in wrongdoing, nor does it hold past faults against anyone. Ask yourself: Do you live with mercy, or with malice? Trey highlights Jesus' words in Matthew 9:13: "But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." This episode calls listeners to reflect on their hearts and choose mercy—the true expression of love.
