is also a term that no one wants to be called and yet so many people do for
one reason or another. Sometimes, it it because of money, others it is
fear, and most of the time it is just so easy, it seems as the way of not
getting into trouble. What is your reputation, honor and integrity worth?
$600? $1000? There are many verses that deal with lying in the Bible,
*Leviticus 19:11 ‘You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one
another. Prov 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord...* As followers
of the Lord Jesus and children of the living God, even if our word is not
worth honoring, we MUST remember that we are His representatives here on
earth. To do the "right" thing is not always easy, but it is always best.
*Colossians 3:9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old
man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in
knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, 11 where there is
neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian,
slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.*
