Summary

Today we are going to look at a word that God considers a 4-letter word.  The problem is, not many people, even Christians, seem to view it the same way. According to HireRight's 2017 employment screening benchmark report, 85% of employers caught applicants fibbing on their résumés or applications, up from just 66% five years ago. A new study co-authored by a UW-La Crosse faculty member shows that most people average fewer than 2 lies a day. Lying comprised 7% of total communication and almost 90% of all lies were little white lies. Here’s our question: “Do grown-ups sometimes need to lie?”
