We have all done it at least once in our lives. We have lied to save ourselves or save someone we care about. But in reality, lying produces nothing positive. It was just a little white lie. Really? Is there such a thing? Some lies hold bigger consequences than others, but a lie is a lie. What about a half-truth? Well, isn't a half-truth really a lie? After all, you really don't know which half you are getting. Some people think that lying is OK as long as it doesn't hurt anyone or it is OK as long as it helps someone. This is the very trap of lying. People deceive themselves into only thinking about the moment and don't give much thought as to how that lie can snowball into a bigger problem. God does not like lying. So why should you? Strive to tell the truth. Please let that sink in...
Psalm 34:13 - "keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies."

For some reason, if we told little white lies to our parents all the time we think as adults we can get away w/ it as well.
