DO NOT DECEIVE

MEMORY VERSE: “He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight”

BIBLE TEXT: PSALMS 101:6-8

Deception or falsehood is an act or statement that misleads, hides the truth, or promotes a belief, concept, or idea that is not true. Deception has negative consequences on the deceiver and the deceived. It was Abraham Lincoln who said, “We may deceive all the people sometimes: we may deceive some of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time, and not God at any time.” Are you a deceiver?

Deception is the daily practice of sinners and it happens in schools, offices, at home, and among friends and foes. People tell lies while giving reports or answering questions. God prohibits falsehood and will judge all liars. Remember Ananias and Sapphira! (Acts 5:1-11). No situation in life justifies lying. In plain terms, deception is a sin and God punishes it. Lying is a consequence of the fallen nature of man in the Garden of Eden. The cure is genuine repentance, faith in Christ’s atoning sacrifice, and proper restitution. Efforts outside this provision of the cross will lead to more lies, guilt and damnation.

QUOTE: Deception is a sin

PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from a lying tongue, in Jesus’ name,

CHALLENGE: No profession or circumstance justifies lying
