Exodus 20:16 & Ephesians 4: 25 – 32. Many of us have learnt to excuse our sin by giving it another name. We’re not lying, we’re just ‘bending’ or ‘being economical with’ the truth. But the harsh reality is that lying has become more the norm than the exception. A survey showed that 91% of Americans admitted to lying regularly (and perhaps the remaining 9% were lying about that as well) and it’s likely that statistics would show a similar trend here in South Africa.
So why do we lie? In this sermon, Martin will expose the root of the problem and illustrate the many forms lying can take – we don’t only lie with our words, but by our silence and our lives as well. He will also explain why we shouldn’t lie and what steps Christians can take to gain a love for the truth.
