PROVERBS 19:9 AMP
“A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who breathes lies will perish.”
GOLD NUGGETS
Today the Church is being pressured with a philosophy called “situational ethics” which would have us believe that sometimes a lie can be right. A lie is never right no matter what attempts we might make to justify it. “God is not a man, that He should lie,”(Numbers 23:19). In 1 John 2:21 we read, “… no lie comes from the truth.” God cannot lie and He will never delegate to you the task of lying for Him. When we take dishonesties into our lives we take fire into our lives. Again Scripture says “all liars
Shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone (Rev. 21:8).” Advocates of “Situational ethics” come up with all kinds of possible scenarios. They ask “What if someone came to your house to murder a member of your family and asked if that person was in. Would it not be right to lie in those circumstances?” 1Corinthians 10:13 teaches that because God is faithful, we will never find ourselves in a situation where we must sin, but there will always be a way of escape. God never calls upon us to break one of His laws in order to keep another. Have a fruitful week.
SHALOM: God’s all encompassing blessings to you.
Help us Lord to be truthful, amen.
