Honesty is built upon the principles of God. It is the
foundation of truth that will stand.
History show that lies destroy: Those who practice such
behavior, never gains anything of value from the evil they causes.
A life Story: Woman misled husband in thinking she was
paying their debts with the money he gave her.
Scene: This woman
has a gambling habit. She has been postponing paying the family debts, and
lying to the creditors while using the money instead, to support her gambling
habit. Her husband thinks his wife is
paying their creditors, until he gets some disturbing news while at work. He learns from the sheriff who has contacted
him with very bad news: There is an
emergency at his home. He needs to come home immediately. He discovers he is being evicted from his
home due to lack of several payments behind on his mortgage, his wife left him
a suicide note. She is dead. And he is
left with two elementary school children to care for and find a place for them to
live. His banking account has a few hundreds of dollars in it. After going
through his paperwork that his wife handled, he found out about her gambling
habit, and the checks she had written to support her habit, rather than paying
their debts.
Liars that believe they are too smart to get caught in their
plots to commit wrongful acts, and get away without suffering the consequences,
are not smart enough to avoid the cost.
A life Story: A couple sale their property and lies to
the church regarding the amount of money they sold it for, so they could keep
more money from the sale. The Man Of God knew this couple had sold their
property for more money than they said they had. Death is the cost for lying.
Scene: According
to this event as written: Ananias, took
the money that he and his wife Sapphira had agreed to give to the church for
the sale of their land, and placed it at the apostles feet; Peter said to
Ananias, Why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep
back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied
unto men, but unto God. And Ananias
hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: And great fear came on
all them that heard those things.
And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out
and buried him.
And it was about the space of three hours after, when his
wife not knowing what was done, came in. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me
whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said Yea, for so much. Then Peter
said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of
the Lord? Behold the feet of them which
have buried thy husband are in the door, and shall carry thee out.
Then fell she down straightway at his feet and yielded up
the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead; and carrying her
forth, buried her by her husband.

All lies are a serious offense. God condemn lying in every
form. Wisdom is used when a life can be saved, by withholding the truth. God
forgive.
