Why do we lie? I mean, God knows the truth, so who are we trying to kid?
Take a look at Genesis 18:10-15 where Sarah lied about laughing when she heard God's promise that she would have a son when she was like 90 years old. Man, that's like your grand-mother having her first kid when you're about to get your driver's license. Yikes. I wonder if Sarah was just afraid she would look stupid if she was caught in the lie. In our lives, we probably lie to cover up something we did which we know was wrong.
But no matter how many times we lie, we know that lying always causes more problems than just telling the truth that we are trying to cover up. So why keep lying? If we believe that God knows the truth, shouldn't we stop the craziness and tell it like it is? Has anything good ever come from living a lie? I dare you to name one.
