The Definition of a Lie by Steve Higginbotham January 19, 2007 | ||
|
The story is told of a Bible class
teacher who asked a little boy to stand and tell the class what a lie
is. The little boy responded by saying, "A lie is an abomination in
the sight of God, and a very present help in a time of
need."
This mixed up definition of a lie offered by
this little boy does offer an explanation regarding why so many people are
dishonest. However, seeking immediate help in a time of need through
the use of a lie is short-sighted, indeed.
Remember, the Lord said that all liars shall
have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone (Revelation
21:8). Honesty is not only the best policy, it's the only policy for
Christians! | ||
