Oh what an evil web we weave when we practice to deceive.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1 John 3:7
When I was growing up I held out on all of the information I was suppose to tell my parents. I did this so I wouldn’t have to tell a lie. You probably did it as well.
Sometimes it went like this… Mom, I’m going to the mall. Ok- I went to the mall... and then off to a friend’s house, down to the creek, etc. If I told Mom to a friend’s house or the creek, I would get the third degree and I would have to tell a lie.
If you are saved, why not just tell the truth? God knows what’s going on anyway! Why are you avoiding man’s judgment but willing to take God’s? Matthew 10:28, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
