Read Deuteronomy 31, Proverbs 12, Romans 12
We used to play a game in student ministry called “Two Truths and a Lie.” Each student would write down three statements on an index card. Two would be true about themselves and one a lie. We collected the cards and try to figure out who the person is first and then we try to determine which statement is a lie. It was one of my favorite games. You could always wrap a biblical thought in after the game was over.
Proverbs 12 speaks many verses about both truth and lies. “Truthful lips endure for ever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment” v. 19. Truth is never in danger of becoming not true. But a lie can easily forget the lie it told. In verse 22 we read, “The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.”
Be a person of truth. Be honest, admit our mistakes, and be willing to speak the truth to friends and family.
