In this era of moral decline, the sin of bearing false witness pervades every level of society, contributing to the rapid fall of our nation. Lying, once unthinkable, has become so commonplace that it is expected and accepted as a way of life. From individuals telling little white lies to deceitful practices in media, business, and politics, the betrayal of truth is rampant. High-pressure salesmen, marketing companies, and politicians promise much but deliver nothing, while ordinary citizens engage in dishonesty for personal gain or to hide their flaws. God clearly condemns lying, ranking a lying tongue and a false witness among the gravest offenses. In contrast, one who speaks truth from the heart, even to their own detriment, will dwell in God's presence. Consider the source of lying—satan the devil, who introduced deceit to cause confusion, division, and rebellion, aiming to destroy all that God builds. When we lie, even in small ways, we imitate his nature, often to gain an advantage or protect our pride, creating false impressions by shading or omitting the truth. As God's people, we must guard against this pervasive evil, striving to speak truth with one another to foster trust and unity. While we are not obligated to reveal all or answer every question, we must discern whether withholding information stems from a selfish desire to deceive. In a deceived and deceiving culture, it is challenging to imagine a time when only truth will prevail, yet as lights in this world, we represent that godly society. Therefore, we must prioritize truthfulness, repudiating the ways of satan and bearing the image of God before the world.
