Lying seems to be the most acceptable sin in the world
today. When people lie in order to get out from difficult
circumstances, they get a lot of sympathy. This “understanding”
encourages even believers to loosen up their standards and
develop a better and more civilized way of lying in order
to manage their lives.
When people make lies their hiding place, they cannot rest
anywhere. They can travel to the other side of the world
but they will never be able to enjoy their fellowship with God.
These lies are like a never moving fog in their lives.
“I will break the pride of your power, I will make your
heavens like iron…” Lev.26:19
Lies don’t disappear away with time.
They are like nuclear waste. It’s not possible to get rid
of them. They have to be put somewhere.
Un-repented lies keep on hanging in people’s souls until
they are confessed and forsaken.
If you keep on justifying white lies long enough, you sooner
or later will become totally color-blind. Lies get out of your
control. They got your attention for a moment, but they will
not ask your permission for another move. They work fast
and hard, independently of you.
Your little lie can start a whole conspiracy.
Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool some of the people all
the time, and all the people some of the time, but you cannot
fool all the people all the time.”
Lying often seems like an easy way out, but
it actually is a beginning of the a difficult way back in.
