Words matter. Truth matters. What you say affects others. When lies are spoken about another, great
harm is done. False accusations can
forever affect the way others are perceived.
False information can forever affect what a person does or says. False accusations can forever affect
relationships. No matter how you look at
it, lies are bad and should never be spoken.
Lies when found out
affect one’s reputation and reliability.
There is no such thing as an insignificant lie. It affects the soul and when lies are spoken
it sets off a progression of sin in the soul.
When truth is compromised, God is not pleased and judges the soul. It is so easy to lie because it is convenient
or self-serving to do so, but it is never appropriate or necessary. Truth must always be spoken if one is going
to have a heart right with God.
If telling the truth would create
problems, one must prayerfully consider whether or not it should be told. Silence is the only acceptable option to not
telling the truth. It is better to not
say anything than it is to lie about someone or something. The truth sometimes hurt, but sometimes it is
a good thing to hurt. Telling the truth
is necessary for needed change to take place.
Telling lies is no joking matter. It deeply affects one’s standing with God and
with others. Lies cause great harm for
all involved. Speak the truth
always. Only a heart connection with
Christ can keep one from telling lies.
Keeping the soul in tune with the Lord moves the soul to always want to
speak the truth. No matter how
uncomfortable it may make you feel, always speak the truth in love. It is God’s way.
