I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"WE MUST STOP TELLING LIES" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

WE MUST STOP TELLING LIES

 

I BELIEVE THE SIN THAT PEOPLE COMMIT THE MOST IS LYING, EVEN BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS. JUST THINK ABOUT IT. WHEN SOMEONE CALLS AND YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK TO THEM, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU TOLD YOUR SPOUSE OR KIDS TO SAY YOU WERE NOT AT HOME?  WHEN YOUR SPOUSE IS WEARING SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT LOOK GOOD AND THEY ASK YOU HOW THEY LOOK, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU TOLD THEM THEY LOOKED FINE WHEN THEY REALLY DIDN'T?  WE CALL THESE "LITTLE WHITE LIES" BUT A LIE IS A LIE.












I KNOW WE TRY TO JUSTIFY MOST OF OUR "LITTLE WHITE LIES" BY SAYING WE DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE'S FEELINGS BUT WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OURSELVES AND HOW CAN WE REALLY JUSTIFY THAT.  LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN REVELATION 21:8 AND WHAT GROUP IT PUTS LIARS INTO. "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."  I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THAT GROUP.




IT IS NOT EASY TO STOP LYING.  WE GET INTO SUCH A HABIT DOING IT THAT MOST OF THE TIME WE DON'T EVEN REALIZE WE ARE LYING. YOU KNOW THE BAD PART OF THIS IS THAT A LOT OF TIMES WE HAVE OUR SPOUSES OR KIDS LIE FOR US.  THAT IS JUST NOT RIGHT. WE ALL NEED TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR OWN ACTIONS AND NOT CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE TO SIN.  IT IS CALLED RENEWING OUR MINDS LIKE IT SAYS IN ROMANS 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."  THIS CAN BE DONE BUT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT.  IT IS A CHOICE WE ALL HAVE TO MAKE AND AS FOR ME, I AM, WITH THE HELP OF GOD, GOING TO STOP LYING. HOW ABOUT YOU? 


GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
