25th April 2022 - Deception

Lying, it turns out, is quite difficult to define. One accepted definition is, “A lie is a statement made by one who does not believe it with the intention that someone else shall be led to believe it”.* Once a lie is created, it will usually require further lies. Lying lays a trap, the consequences of which we cannot see at the point of our first lie. It’s why God calls us to speak truth at all times (Eph. 4:15).
