The Bondage of Lying

Ephesians 4:25-27

Lying has become a pervasive problem. Have you fallen into the habit? I know I have been caught in this from time to time. However, many believers don’t look on lying as the grievous sin that it most certainly is. Why is that? Many people would never dream of attending a dirty movie, but they will lie at the drop of a hat. The “me first” mentality seems to have won the day and places little value on honesty and personal integrity. Truth is sacrificed on the altar of self-advancement. There is only one way to break the bondage of a lie and that is with the truth. See today’s challenge for some thoughts on how to do that.

1. Which life have you created for yourself? One of lying and deceit or one of truth and integrity? 

2. In relationship to question #1 above, how are you able to tell the difference in your life and relationships?

Challenge: Seek to live with integrity and honesty and you will find a new freedom for living. How? The truth is found in Jesus Christ. Find Him and find the Truth, the Power, and the Strength to become a person of integrity.
