One of the first things we teach our kids is to be truthful, but many adults don't always take this advice. Should Christians tell the truth at all times?
Key Points:
- Lying is wrong (Exodus 20; Proverbs 12:22).
- Killing innocent people is worse than lying (Exodus 1:15).
- We may have to choose the lesser of two evils (Joshua 2:4-6).
Quote This:
Proverbs 12:22 The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth.
