Steve McNair had secrets, and his secret lifestyle took his life. Tiger Woods has some secrets, and they may cost him his marriage and millions of dollars in corporate endorsements. Bernie Madoff, former Chairman of the New York stock exchange had secrets and embezzled $64.8 billion in a Ponzi scheme. He’s now in prison.   Secrets are deadly and costly!

We “soak” up the publicity regarding the secrets of the stars, and it dominates our conversations, and makes great monologue material for Jay Leno and his comedy colleagues.

What about my secrets and your secrets? Surely the media will never expose us. Our secrets are “small” and harmless.

“Whatever you have spoken in the darkness shall be heard and listened to in the light and what you have whispered in [people's] ears and behind closed doors will be proclaimed upon the housetops”. (Luke 12:3 Amplified)

“Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty.  God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 NLT)

“And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.” 1 Chronicles 28:9There are no secrets!
